I've never been one to be particularly elegantly coiffeured with my hair - it grows very quickly and any cut soon looks a mess, and I prefer it long. I used to colour it religiously every month - even when undergoing the rigours of chemotherapy - but these days I just let it go its sweet way, thinking the absence of chemical interference is probably better for it! I've got quite used to it being grey now!<br /><br />Thank you for visiting, and I am even later than usual, getting round the posts. I'm glad you are so impressed with my pantry! The reorganisation has proved itself already with my cooking efforts this week being much easier, being able to lay my hands on things so much more quickly than before. Now I am organised with my new way of life as far as eating is concerned, life is much simpler and cooking has become more streamlined.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words about my knitting too. My thinking is that if I'm going to take the trouble to do it at all, I might as well do it properly! Knitting is no hardship for me and I enjoy doing it from the comfort of the recliner in front of the TV, and there's no deadline either. I'm now on attempt #3 on the band of the green cardigan, though! So glad you liked the photo of me in my new dress! I just wish we'd had a few more sunny days this week to enjoy it. June is often a disappointment weather-wise.<br /><br />Happy very belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #22Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-62153571915022199032020-06-20T13:33:36.649+01:002020-06-20T13:33:36.649+01:00It always amazes me how old photos evoke so much m...It always amazes me how old photos evoke so much memories.. and how we haven't changed inside at all - but oh the outer side, djeez! Speaking about hair: I haven't been to the hairdresser in over a year but really DO NEED a haircut now, not blaming it on the lockdown but on myself, for waiting so long (but the last time they cut it waaaay too short which scared me off... I found a new hairdresser now but haven't been there yet - having to explain 'my hair' all over again scares me just as much!) I hope the gas-man styed at a safe distance and all is well both technically and with you and your family. Enjoy your weekend Julia!

Hope the gas man turned up early and let you get on with the rest of the day. I did smile at your hair comments. I used to be a scuba diver - I have never looked so bedraggled as when I spent an enjoyable hour diving in the middle of a sea somewhere, then a couple of hours on the dive boat drying, then back in the sea etc! Thanks for stopping by my blog - apparently Mr M played the guitar in his youth. He also rode a motorbike, so I am dreading his 'big' birthday in a couple of years!

It's strange what the virus does as she was coughing up a small amount of blood but that seems to have stopped now. Her memory is gradually coming back and she realised that it's her birthday this month but thought I was three years older than I am......thanks mum!

We need to do ours but there are other items on that dreaded list before it. I did get a new stove yesterday so that's something. As for hair, I talked about mine in my post today as well. I am trying to come to terms with my gray hairs that I can't cover the salon during this pandemic. I know it seems like a small thing but I have never lived with so many for so long. It's definitely an adjustment. Thanks for sharing your desk and scrapbooking. I am preparing a new scrapbook album and getting excited to get started again.

I had to smile over the hair thoughts. I have not much tolerance for fixing my own so, it is just long which means I can roll it up out of the way and forget about it most of the times. Hopefully this transition to the new blogger is going to go smoothly for people. me, I could not find the create a new post button for the life of me and had to start a help me thread at scs to pick people's brains over and I did link to that in case it helps someone else. ~Stacy #31 Stacy Sheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196238552931006068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-62044754402802870132020-06-17T13:29:11.338+01:002020-06-17T13:29:11.338+01:00Thank You for visiting and your kind remarks.

I agree, the secret to finding anything is to look for something completely different. Liking what I can see of the layout, love how uncluttered it is, your's always draw the eye to the photo- which is the whole point- but not everyone pulls it off.
