If its any consolation Kerry: it will grow back, the hairdressers will open again, your house is amazingly clean and tidy (you should see ours! The four of us are hoarders and there are cats everywhere.) I used to improve some of my dolls in a bad way as well by drawing pen like eyeliner round their eyes. This is practice for being a teenager or a punk rocker or something… bad clothes, bad hair and bad make up.

It actually looks okay and Teddy admired it! Somehow I thought putting a pen on my dolls was a mortal sin but not cutting hair…

Since it is your heart’s desire at some level, have you thought about actually learning to cut hair at a hairdressing college or salon once we put this new normal behind us and get back to actual living?

I have thought about that but the truth is that I really miss my real job. Hopefully Destination Travel Mgt will pick up in a year or so.

Dear Kerry, you have never seen my hair! What you see is a wig because married Jewish women covere their hair. I am fortunate to have an excellent wig styler, so it looks exactly like my hair, but longer. My real haircut is almost as short as yours, and only my husband and my sons can see it.

You really do have an excellent wig styler, Dolly. When I worked at the airport I used to notice Orthodox ladies with very plain bobbed wigs. One of my Muslim friends in Cairo also had really short hair under her beautiful scarves.

Very plain wigs are not for me, darling! My wig styler knows I want crazy hairstyles, so she lets her creativity go. I’ll her know that she is getting compliments from my readers.

Thank you so much, MB. My hairdresser is really good at giving me a good short cut but the clippers are a reasonable substitute. I am feeling really old with the reference to washing hanging on the line. We used a mangle as well – positively Victorian!

I still hang a lot of my washing if that helps! 🙂 Not on a line because we don’t have a yard, so on various railings and racks in the apartment haha.

Loved the video. I can relate. All kids love to cut hair but many grow out of this🤔
You are so like your mum it’s unbelievable.
Had a chuckle thinking about your nana in the back garden with dolls hair flying over the clean washing.
Your hair cut is the pixie look you like. I need to go to a hairdressers because my efforts turn ginger!
I have a bottle of colour for my roots so God knows how it’ll turn out. Might need some of that Holy water!
Stay well stay safe
Lots of love

The trick with us Irish folks with ginger genetics is always to use an ash/cool tone not neutral. I am not just like my mum in appearance – bat shit crazy comes to mind…🤪 I feel very nostalgic about washing on the line – it’s not allowed in our bubble. Wine is just as good a substitute for holy water – can you hear Nana turning in her grave. LOL!

This is the first time I’ve seen a video post in your blog from you. Really enjoyed it! I think you did a good job with the scissors and I didn’t notice anything wrong with your hair at all. As Dolly said, this cut makes you look funky. Gives you a very youthful vibe. I also really enjoyed hearing you talk about Barbie dolls at the end and you got one with copper hair. Growing up my mum gave me Barbies to play (the long blonde haired ones) and for some reason the dolls always made me creeped out and dizzy 😊

So glad you enjoyed it, Mabel. I had just cut my hair so I thought I would share my funny stories. If you look back a couple of posts there is another vlog about the 70s that you might like. For some reason really short hair makes me look younger? I’ll take it… Hope is all well with you Mabel. Keep safe. K x

Your humorous personality did shine through the video, Kerry 😀 I have to agree that short hair makes you look younger. It brings out the features of your face. For some people, long hair ‘drags’ your face down with it if you know what I mean – or is like a curtain hiding your face away form the world. All is well here. Enjoying the last of summer here before it heads over your way 🙂

Sorry for the late response, Mabel. You may have seen that we have had extreme sub zero weather in Texas – no power for a while. 3 million people have had no power since Sunday (and some with no water).
Thank you very much for the compliment about my hair – it looks a complete mess now because I have been wearing a hat in the house (also thermals and endless layers). Next week it will reach 70 F – back to normal. Brrr!

Yes, I have seen the news about Texas being freezing cold and the state is finding it hard to cope. Hope you are okay and aren’t too badly affected.
Good that next week it will be back to normal. Take care and I am sure your hairstyle will be even better next week.
