For weeks now (ok, lets be honest, probably since I got here to Tasmania) Margie keeps looking sideways at my hair, sighing a bit and running her fingers through the tangled endy bits and acting all wistful
She is a hairdresser.
And the lack of attention I give my hair in her opinion borders on criminal.
This is why I have bandannas. I love my bandannas – I won’t cut my hair short but I hate it getting in my eyes, so it works for me.
Anyway… the ends were getting pretty much to dreadlock stage so I figured I better let Margie have her fun and having hair a little more manageable for the upcoming hike.
Really… I could do without returning home harbouring various flora and fauna in there from Cradle Mt.
Margie has cut my hair once before. Other than that, I have generally just yanked my hair around to the front and attacked it with scissors myself. (I really don’t care)(And did I mention I am one of the least expensive wives out there??)
There! All done! I swapped some eggs for the haircut – but reckon I should make up Margie a bit of special home made ice cream at some point.
I could have done this myself (er- not as neatly of course) but then where’s the fun in that, as we had coffee and a good long gossip!?!
I grossly under-calculated my earnings yesterday … I made $8 not $7.
People from Texas can tell me how many cups of coffee I can buy with that! haha
BUT – today was a LOT more exciting!
$49!!! How great is that?? I met a couple of the customers. One sweet old fellow was just browsing while his wife (seated in their car) and I chatted. He kept choosing stuff and handing over more money!
Another fellow bought stuff then immediately came back to get the rest of the tomatoes because his wife told him to. They really loved the Black Russian ones.
I gave him a complimentary cucumber.
And then we get to my favourite time of the day…
Vegetable Arrangement Hour
Thrilled with my chillies this season.
At this point I was thinking I needed to feed Jeff so he could go to work!
Hope your day was fabulous
Cheers
Your ‘chillie’ words are fantastic. Such an artful talent you are 🙂
haha – pity I can’t spell!! Sigh.
Hi Lisa – Loving all of the posts, especially the pictures of food made into words. You are artistic! Love the haircut. I also cut my own. The day will come when I can stand it no more and out come the scissors and tidy it up a bid. Spring is on the way here in North Carolina. Every day more springs up out of the ground. I have already had daffodils and hyacinths to blood. I have camellia bushes that are covered in beautiful blooms also. I have tomato seeds that have sprouted in the house but won’t be able to plant until May. The weeds unfortunately have begun to take over and have to be taken care of. I pull weeds by the wheelbarrow load as you do. Looking forward to more of your fun posts. Take care.
Thanks Beverly! I enjoy keeping records of what we pick… its easy to then check back previous years to compare seasons. (as well as show off a bit 🙂 )
Glad to hear of others that snip their own hair!
Sounds like things are getting very pretty around your neck of the woods! May will come around quickly… but at times it will seem like forever! I will be very curious to see what your season is like up there this year. Ours was so weird.
Ahhh – the big weed clean up before the garden starts in earnest!! It is satisfying tho!
