Back at the hairdresser

I'm at the hairdresser for my pre holiday haircut. We will be going on holiday a week tomorrow and this weekend I will be away on a D of E outing so I thought I'd better get ahead (a head ha ha) with my haircut. I have been working late because there are certain annual and important but time consuming tasks that I am keen to get done as soon as possible. Last night I worked very late and was very pleased with what I got done but once the initial euphoria had worn off I started to feel a bit flat. The future of my job is still uncertain (that's all I can say) and I don't know what is next for me. Anyway here I am at the Rainbow Room; my usual hairdresser is off sick so a friendly young guy is cutting my hair instead. Perhaps part of the reason that I feel flat is to do with the very unpleasant items that are in the news just now. Of course there are always unpleasant news items as people continue to hurt and kill each other all over the world, but foremost in many people's minds is a little girl who has been abducted in Wales. That's three days that she has been missing now. I really hope that she is found safe and a huge hunt is going on for her. But it has been a long time for such a small child to be missing. Also unpleasant are the allegations about deceased former national treasure Jimmy Savile. Horrible if they are true - and horribly unfair if they are not true. No good outcome there. Tonight I will have to get packed for my weekend away; Shona is going to cook us all a meal tomorrow night and then we will get a curry on Saturday night. It should be a good weekend with very nice company - fingers crossed that the weather is kind to us!
