Fortunately, one of our members knew just the man to take it to and this is how it looks now:

Only a few days until I get a haircut followed by a few pints in the pub with friends.

My barber will crack up when she sees my feeble attempts at trimming

I have resisted, 4 months since my last hair cut

I haven't, most recent one was yesterday. No way does mine stay uncut for 4 months.

Not a lot wrong with Spanish Chicken - and Delia does a very nice Poulet Basque in her Summer Book - but a Paella - yes - that would be nice. Pity Mrs Hogie is not a great fan...enjoy

First pint of Real Ale in 3.5 months. Lancaster Blonde 4%. £4 per pint which is more than us upt’North usually pay but very enjoyable near Coniston

Probably shouldn't amuse for several reasons... However, went to deepest darkest Kent today to collect eldest grandson... Passing through the wonderful seaside resort of Margate spotted an old fashioned beach goods emporium fully open and stocked ready for business even on a classic seaside weather day... Overcast, windy and damp... The shop owners optimism certainly brought a smile to my face...

surely the thing that gladdened the heart was that you made it out of Margate

Certainly gladdened my heart when I left there in the 80s.

Well yes, but the full bonus was collecting grandson to return home, with us, to spend some time in our bubble...
