Hair today, Gone tomorrow

New Year – Time for a new haircut.

The UK news this week seems focussed on the Prime Minister’s hair. (Can’t be much else happening, then)

 In the past few weeks there has also been some concern at the state of Malcolm’s hair so it is time for his annual shearing.

One of the personal ‘hygiene’ problems of living here is how to get a haircut. The local hair dressers may be excellent at shaving heads, or spending all day braiding hair, but not necessarily so good at ‘4 on top, 1 at the sides’ or styling.

Fortunately Mairead is at hand.

Malcolm wasn’t too sure how it would turn out (nor seems Mairead?).

Having tackled the impenetrable, Mairead enjoyed the easier task of tidying up Irene.

However, the ‘bug of the week’ did not seem too happy.

 This week’s African Proverb from the BBC web-site is from Liberia: “The wisdom of a person cannot be determined by the number of grey hairs on their head”

P.S. Apologies to all her fans, but Irene has returned to the UK for a well deserved 3 week break. So, no more photos of her for a few weeks. Please keep watching anyway.
