oooh, travel anxiousness. Our flight to the Netherlands leaves at 18:00. I was in work early so I can leave at 15:00. Time from work to home 1 hour (if all is well), Mup is doing his best to be home for 16:00, then normal time from home to airport, 20 minutes, but that does not account for the whole of the North of England being pretty much under water. I figure that as long as we're at the airpoort before 17:20, we'll be on the 'plane. Doesn't stop me fretting though. My normal route home is impassable due to a landslides. ICK.
Also, I have not packed any knitting, cos we're just taking carry-on and I don't want to have to explain wooden needles when I'm in a rush. Yes, I know this is a stupid reason to be fretty, tough!
Am very much looking forward to seeing thejasper though...
I did the brave thing yesterday, and went to a new hairdresser's. I have probably ranted here before about the fact that I had not found someone who was happy cutting curly hair, no matter what colour it was, and who LISTENED when I asked for stuff. I seem to suffer the usual hairdresser chair paralysis, where once I'm in the chair, and they're at work, I lose the ability to protest. Rocco (isn't it great?) managed to be reassuring, brisk, and to GET what I wanted, up until the end, when he blow dried and straightened me to within and inch of my life. Luckily, today I am back to being curly Nicola, and I am very happy with his work.
Does anyone else get ridiculously tense about haircuts? It's not like I'm not adventurous with my hair either, I think it's just that I don't like not being in control of it. I hate the blow drying too, it just makes me into one ball of dandelion fluff, and they look at you funny when you ask them not too...
OK, back to putting together a presentation for my boss. Cross your fingers for clear roads, and quick connections tonight! (also, dry fields in Somerset please)
