Oh disclaimer accepted!!!Just not quite as full as I remember, forgotten how to maintain it so just tied back most of the time. Also growing a beard now, umpteenth attempt - filling out a bit but very soft haha! Look like a poor Kurt Cobain look-alike (was one of my heroes), was pretty close in my twenties but now?
A mod eh? Very snappy dressers and loved the style @Neveradullday!
Ooh I could never dye hair, my mum did it regularly and I did my own through the nineties... I applaud you for your endeavours @sdmhred 👏 sounds like a right Krypton Factor!! Hmm I don't think they'd accept my hair at that charity, long but ill-kept 😆 Keep yours long!
It sounds like you are doing an amazing job.
Mum's demeanour changed instantly as a result, she knows that if I promise a thing I'll always follow through. Anyways up a touch earlier, did the necessaries, had breakfast, mum started her late morning nap with expectation of travelling on waking and then bang! Remembered Iceland to drop off between 12noon and 2pm :/ Mum woke up at 1pm excited, took her to the toilet and still no knock on the door; was looking at going out shoes as I paced up and down nervously. Then just as I was trying to figure out what to say - Iceland arrived, crisis averted!!! I never renege on a promise.
I was going to say this was a Riddler quote from Batman then I saw your next post...
Absolutely. Learnt this lesson the hard way and has been my personal mantra for the past twenty years, took three decades to sink in though!
That's a gud'un, wonder where it's origins lie. My mum didn't really use quotes that I can remember but did sing to us in the kitchen a fair bit when we were young
Teen years, many a 'clip' round the ear but much deserved!!
My mum took us to the library without fail on a regular basis, Asterix and Tin Tin were the mainstay for me with mum a big Jean Plaidy & Catherine Cookson fan. I was always itching to get into the adult section though after reading The Hobbit, consequently when I reached twelve Philip Jose Farmer beckoned (attracted by the cover), oh my what a world of delights!! My elder brother's bookshelf which held many 'forbidden' tomes led me to Heinlein's Space Cadet (1948) and opened my mind to the sci-fi genre. In time after devouring everything on offer I accidentally discovered The Little World Don Camillo (not my normal cup of tea) by Giovannino Guareschi... Apologies I could go on and on @Chizz, so many books, so many authors.
Oscar Wilde held much more of an appeal, I just read in a certain way, my excuse? Brain isn't wired for it! Chaucer... urk 😵
Had real problems at the outset and shower caps were mentioned, surprisingly it got easier as mum progressed and she started to trust me more. Fingers crossed we can continue as is but if not will definitely be shopping at Boots on your recommendation!
