Blogging is about… (part one in a never-ending series)
In which we notice the details
… noticing little details.
I had my hair cut yesterday, for the first time since October.* Sitting in the salon chair, mind idling, I noticed the tattoo on the foot of the woman in the next chair: “Gemini, 24-5-1981″ in copperplate. My hairdresser’s arms were covered in long, fine, blonde hair. As she was rather thin, I wondered to myself if it was a form of lanugo. It would have been rude to ask.
My hair, incidentally, looks barely any different to before the cut.
* the last time I had my hair cut, I was dumped the following day. Not that the hair cut had anything to do with that; and not that I’m superstitious or anything.
