Hair apparent

Today was my first day back at work after a super week off. And do you know what I realized after settling into the captain's chair this morning?

Damn, my hair is getting long.

Which is a good thing.

Long time readers will know that I've been harping on about growing my damned hair for ages, and my nefarious plan is finally reaching fruition. We're not talking Rupunzal length here, folks, but it's certainly longer than the stock 1.5-2 inch spiky mess that I've previously sported since discovering hair gel waaaaaay back in the early 90s.

The only problem I've noticed thus far in is that hair... well, it gets in your eyes, dunnit? I've lost track of the amount of time it's poked me today; my corneas are probably scratched to hell, but at least I can blog about laser eye surgery at a later date, mmmm?

And before anyone offers the practical advice of a hair-band - um, NO, and secondly, it would be super-hypocritical of me to wear one bearing in mind that Jo and I spent a good 20 minutes pointing and laughing at some dude with a hair-band at the cinema on Saturday night.

Anyway, I give it another month, after which it will have grown past my lovely eyes (winks coyly).

Another thing I noticed at work was, despite copious amounts of blogging last week I seem to have last the ability to type coherently. I've used the backspace key so much today I've pretty much worn the arrow off it.

And what do I say to my dyslexic fingers? I'll tell you what: jk agrjbgw gwhighjkgads ladgskhgdshjk thtewk.

(And that pretty much verified all my comments for the next day or so too)

I had some peri-peri turkey for dinner. It was delicious, but it didn't half stain the pan I cooked it on. Makes me wonder what it's doing to my insides, and if it'll go straight through me like I've had gastro-intestinal bypass surgery. A bit like that hot chocolate I had last year in that cafe on the Charing Cross Road; it was almost like I poured it down a very small drainpipe. Came out exactly the same consistency at the other end...
