Final haircut with Jodie

Took Totty out for her walk and met Bronwyn and Uppy. Let Tot off in the park and as there was another retriever there Bronwyn let Uppy off (if there are no other dogs around he tends to run away and as Tot shows no interest in playing with him she doesn't count). Totty decided to race off after them and had a really good play, something she hasn't wanted to do for ages. She was funny when they got too mad and started barking at them as if she was telling them to calm down. It looked so funny, her being so small and sorting out two big dogs.

As the book room is all sorted I didn't need to go over there this morning as planned so had a morning in. Viv came round and brought me three boxes of hair dye that she brought back for me from her six month trip to UK. she couldn't stay long but will come round another time to have a chat.

Heather phoned for a quick chat and told me she had a nice birthday and that she had picked up the boots from the PO and both her and Kirsty liked them, Jane will collect hers when she can. So glad they fit after all the expense!

I had an early lunch and then went over to the Mount to have my last haircut with Jodie before she moves to Oz. As she has moved out of her house she is working in a salon and so I was able to meet Dana, who will now cut my hair

I decided to go and do some Christmas shopping at the Mount and bought some nice gifts and things to take back with us to the UK - I spent a lot of money. Heather allows us to think about Christmas now her birthday is over.


Went to do my shopping on the way back and in to Specsavers to see if I could get my glasses fixed. Unfortunately, all the opticians need to send them away and I can't do without them so it looks like I will be doing a 'Jack Duckworth' for some time yet!


I bought some strawberries on the way home from a roadside van and they are so good. One of them was bigger than a Kiwi fruit!!


Had a cuppa as soon as I got home as I was very thirsty after all that shopping. I fed the dog and then we went out for a walk but it was really warm and she would not walk far.


Cooked spahetti sauce for dinner, we haven't had that for a long time and we had strawberries to follow.


Watched the final of Australian X Factor. I had my reservations at the beginning but it has been better than the UK one. Not so much drama and press coverage and no sad stories to get the sympathy vote. The results show is tomorrow night.
