Re: How Excited By Christmas are you?

I'm also looking for new short hairstyles. Perhaps a fringe but an indeterminate type of style - boyish even. With the need to keep on top of the grey, I can afford to go either much blonder or for a bronde - either way I can't really stretch touch ups beyond three weeks anymore.

I haven't had short hair since an enforced period in the early 2000's when I set my hair on fire in a bar by adopting a languid pose on a leather sofa - elbow up, head resting on my hand as my cigarette casually smouldered and ignited. It was the smell of burning hair that alerted me. Someone called Emily threw a vodka and tonic on it. I think she enjoyed doing that a bit too keenly so fell out with her later that same year.

No loss - and we were having a cold snap so I popped round in the dead of night to ice her front steps.

I'd love to wear smart skirts such as pencil skirts more often but they don't really go with walking to work. I favour frumpy skirts with leggings, because they don't look too stupid when I walk to work in trainers, and change into ankle boots when I get there.

There are some real practical benefits to a short pencil skirt. It's very easy to cross the road for instance - even in Central London cabs and vans are liable to slow or stop. I won't be throwing mine out, I'll just store them until they're properly back in. It's also very easy to get a cab to stop in the first place.

It's Twelfth Night. I've eaten all the Comte and the last 2 mince pies, and I've hastily taken down the Christmas teatowels which were on display in the kitchen and which I missed until I got home today.

Next Monday is Plough Monday, and then Christmas is now over as far as I'm concerned, till Anti-Christmas on June 25th and then till November 12th when Hallowmembrance is over and the festive fun can begin once again.

Exactly one month to go. Excited

I've just elevated to Excited

cos I was on the phone to my parents this morning arranging to go and stay with them for the 24th-26th.

Also I was just reading my last post above, about coming home from work on Twelfth Night. I'd forgotten there was a time when I used to leave the house for work.

It's the first of December. That means it's safe to put Radio 2 on and listen to Christmas songs. cheer

Now he's playing Macca! And his 2nd best Christmas song. cheer

It should be illegal for the radio to play any Christmas song that's less than 30 years old.
