Bobsicle

So, the gorgeous and sleek, Anna Wintour bob that I loved so much, has transitioned into the wavy, body-licious Carrie Bradshaw bob, SATC circa Season 5, in particular, the one with the Saltwater Taffy.  I loved the sleek version so much but I would spend 20 minutes, around 5am, blow drying to sleekness only to have a rainy / damp / foggy, morning, (most mornings,) turn it to lank and listless fuzz in less than 10 minutes.  Lets face it, at that hour of the morning, it's a total waste of time and effort.

So for now, my hair looks great, (had lots more positive comments,) and it takes me less than 10 minutes to dry, and I don't have arm ache.

I had a great weekend away visiting friends down south, lots of late nights, eating, drinking, relaxing, sleeping, and on the final day, lots of new baby cuddles.  I am in love.  The cuddles brought me something else.  My nephew, who is like a little brother to me, is expecting his first child, a daughter.  She will be my first Great Niece and while I have been both delighted yet cool, now, with only 5 weeks to go, I'm beside myself with excitement, but don't tell anyone ;)  I really hope she likes me, I've already earmarked a book which will be perfect bedtime reading, when she's two, maybe three, possibly four.

I finally got my front, drivers side tyre fixed, as in replaced in the end.  I've had a slow puncture since I got the car, 18 months ago and I know that I'm very lucky I didn't have a flat, (more than once,) let alone a blow out in that time, there just always seemed to be something more pressing to spend money on.  With another winter looming, I was getting more and more nervous driving on it, so it was time to get it sorted.  It was un-fixable and I needed a new tyre which they had to order in, but now it's good and I'm safe.
