Hair Rescue

Yesterday afternoon Cat arrived through and bravely (and enthusiastically) tackled the task of sorting out David's hair. When he had arrived in the morning he was sporting a very strange haircut that included a startling diagonal fringe. I don't know if this is the fashion or if it was just a shockingly terrible haircut! Davie had tried to correct it himself already so it all looked very lopsided. He was as going to go to our local barber for assistance but when Cat offered to take on the task he accepted with alacrity. 

After finding a suitable pair of scissors, Cat started snipping away in a very professional manner. And she made a very good job of it, despite Ally making various jokes about Jim Carrey's fringe in the film "Dumb and Dumber!" The most hilarious moment was when Cat was carefully cutting a bit of hair very near Davie's eye and Ally suddenly appeared with the handheld vacuum cleaner in order to clear up some trimmed hair from David's neck. It roared to life and startled us all; it's just as well that Cat has a cool head and a steady hand! We had such a laugh, and Davie's hair looks great.

In the early evening James arrived back from his Bothy Weekend to Gleann Dubh-leigh in fine spirits and we all had a hearty curry before having a film night on our new big television in the front room, complete with drinks and popcorn. However there is only one two seater sofa in the front room at the moment, so in order to accommodate five of us, Ally and Davie had to carry through a sofa from the back room. But the internal door was too narrow so they had to bring it out through the garden and round to the front of the house and in through the front door! It was so funny! 

The film was a light-hearted spy caper called "Keeping up with the Jones" which was quite amusing and suited our happy mood. It was a lovely day.
