Christmas, cooking and the cutting of hair.

[nishatalitha]

My hair is now cut. It feels very shiny and soft and floaty at the moment, because they not only washed it, they also blow-dried it. So it is all nice and floaty now, and when I brush it, it looks very red-gold.

I also managed to avoid having too much cut off the ends. I got it trimmed (about an inch), and the front bits layered slightly. I should still be able to hook it back, as usual, but it might make having it out a bit easier. And Mum paid for it, which is nice. I got it done at the place in the Downtown Plaza, where my sister got hers cut very short, layered and coloured. It wouldn't surprise me if my hair is the longest that they've ever seen in that place. I talked a bit to the girl who washed my hair. She said they'd been open until midnight all week at Chartwell. That seems to be a late time to get a haircut.

Dad has dyed his hair blondish out of a packet last night. I've not actually seen the colour, since I was up on the computer writing when he did it, but I'm sure that it will look interesting. Mum said something about a more browny colour being better for him.

I have been once more to the awfully painted Hamilton Central Library. They cancelled my card after only two years away. I was deregistered and everything. I'm most disappointed. I should've left ten cents or something like that owing on it, because then I would've been able to keep using it. Instead, I had to get my books out on Mum's library card.

I have been doing cooking things with Mum this afternoon. We have made an egg salad, a kumera salad, two frittata/quiche things for tonights dinner, cooked pasta for something or another, started on a chicken curry for tomorrow night's dinner, and Christmas mincemeat tarts.  I have also finished all my family Christmas presents. 

It has been a pleasant day.
