Highlight of my month Andy (well nearly, and no, no highlighting involved). Hairdressers reopened yesterday. Earliest appointment I could get is on the 28th. My duaghter-in-law tried today and has to wait until the end of June!

Had a visit from the grandsons on Sunday, Mother's Day here. It was warm where they live so they thought we could sit outside, but it was blowing a nor'easter here so we socially distanced inside instead. That was the real highlight of the month!

My offer to trim Mrs L still stood until she told me what she would do with the scissors!

Well as you will have heard July at the earliest here (unless you go via the unscrupulous ones around!). I don't think my hair will get to the length it was in student days tho'

Yes I hear it was July there. Go back to work, sit or stand on a crowded tube but don't get your hair cut. Daft.
Ah well at least you can go to a garden centre now and buy some shears...

Grow your hair, gather garlands of flowers and have a summer of love - let's show today's youth what life used to be like (if you can remember it...).

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end

(I still love Mary Hopkin's version of that old song even if I can't remember all the words)

I'll say CHEERS to that HG. Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Now we can 'travel' to meet one other person would a drive to The Netherlands to say "Hello" to Gwyn be allowed?

Or do we just sit and say "hello" over the internet and stay safe?

Your wife might put you in quarantine when you returned...

You are most welcome, but you'll have to take a very scenic route I fear. Belgium is still closed and the Dutch ferries aren't exempt from the quarantine rules for some reason.
Bring the Mrs!

When things open up again do come!

Meanwhile hello!

It's my age.....

I can't remember the (Russian?) name of the chap whose website lists all the Pentax kit ever. In detail.

Anyone remember / help, please?

Roger.
The more I look, the more there is to see!
