I've been doing a reasonable job of cutting my own hair, during furlough. As I'm not a girlie girl I'm happy to wait until those who are desperate get their hair done first.
My first 2 cuts were pretty successful, but as it's grown back it's quite apparent that it wasn't a professional job. Now I'm just managing it the best that I can - I don't look like a scarecrow and to be fair I've had dodgier cuts in the past that were pretty expensive.
Then today on the way to school my son said to me - you do realise that you have hair growing all the way down the back of your neck don't you mum.
Well no, I didn't realise that - in retrospect I do recall that when I go to the hairdresser they do use a buzz clipper on the back of my neck. So I got home and did a bit of investigating. He wasn't lying you know. I had no idea that along the line of my neck to the shoulder is a part of my hairline. I've not touched that.
As I have a short bob it turns out I've had a bob with a rat like growth at the bottom for 4 months now. It wouldn't have even occurred to my husband to point it out as he probably thought that's how I wanted it - or more likely didn't notice.
So I asked him for a favour and just 10 minutes ago I stood in the back garden with a carrier bag tied around my neck as he shaved my neck. Suddenly realising that this could possibly be the death of any final romance we had left in our 23 year relationship I started giggling.
Needless to say he wasn't impressed, I'd apparently interrupted him right in the middle of some complex coding. It may just be that his bubble of love (or what was left of it) just popped and he too realised he was standing in the garden on a windy day shaving the neck of his wife.
Don't know why - but this has really tickled me!
