Not lost - just cold!

Hello everyone,

I have finally got around to visiting GoY again after (and I’m rather ashamed to admit this) nearly a month away!

sorry, sorry, so very sorry

I just wanted to thank everyone for the emails and PM’s asking after me and my obvious absence.

Yes, my health hasn’t been at it’s best for a while but you should know me better than that by now. I never let that stop me from doing something or other and I haven’t this time either.

As some of you already know, I have been developing a liking for video making and especially editing and have found myself becoming more and more engrossed in the weird and wonderful world that is You_Tube!

This has had an unusual side affect in that it has rubbed off on Holly (our eight year old daughter) who is also developing a liking for video making and loves directing, or rather, she thoroughly enjoys telling me what to do! Lol.

She has even made her own video for which she came up with the concept, positioned the camera (she told me where to stick it! Lol) and directed the action. I “acted” in it, edited it and posted it on my channel on You_tube.

As you know she loves reading the comments on here and, indeed, it was herself that got me back here so I’m sure she would be delighted if she found out that some of you had commented on her video as well.

I will put a link to it and also another to my channel (home) page at the end of this blog if anyone would like to see what we’ve been up to!

Now to personal news

As I’ve already said my health has not been what it should be but this has not stopped us from having some very good laughs, particularly when I tried to cut my own hair!

It started off because the barber I usually go to had been closed for two weeks as he was moving house. I was so desperate to get my hair cut that I decided to dig out the old shears that Carol used to use on me before I realised that where my hair was once all waves the tide was going out and it was becoming all beach! lol.

Carol didn’t feel up to doing it so, in my wisdom, I thought it can’t be that hard and tried to do it myself (my first mistake!)

After all, all you do is whiz the shears back and forth until the hair stops falling, right? (second mistake! !)

So with determination and to little fore-thought I set up the bathroom mirror, hanging from a kitchen unit and set to (third mistake! ! !)

I started at the front and cut backwards from my brow (roughly somewhere North of my nose) and in one swoop cut a strip right to the back of my head (the biggest mistake of my life! ! ! !)

Observe the result!

I am soooooo smart and clever it had never occurred to me to check which guide I had in place and as you can see it was quite clearly the wrong one!

Well, unfortunately, once you have cut hair it won’t stick back on in any sensible fashion so I was left with no option but to call Carol through and let her see what I had done :~/

After she had stopped laughing and I had picked her up off the floor she still had to finish it off for me.

So here is the result……..

Oh and please ignore the unusual watermark on the second and third photo (they were part of a competition, which is far to complicated to explain now!) Needless to say it started with the comment “I was seeing the girl over the road until the police came and confiscated my binoculars” BOOM, BOOM

So, that is my news except to say we had a wonderful Christmas and, yes, I got very drunk at the new year! Lol.

Again I am soooooo very, very sorry to have been away for so long and I will do my best to visit more often in future! Lol.
