I had my hair cut on Saturday.<\/p>\n
I go to a place in Worcester out of habit. Soph and I used to live in a flat almost directly above this place. We now live miles out of the city but I still go there.<\/p>\n
I like the ambience. It’s light, airy, modern and they play cool music. I’m trying to get them to play my podcast playlist because I think it would fit.<\/p>\n
I like the Latte they give me and I like the staff. The girls are all a bit plastic, cast from the same mould, wear the same styles and do similar things with their hair, but it’s better than a lot of places where I’ve been in the past.<\/p>\n
I like the guy who manages the place, we have a laugh and a chat about music and bands and guitars (he fancies himself as an axe-man but I’m way better than he is), but I think we only have that conversation because it’s all he and I have in common – but it is better than nothing.<\/p>\n
I love the head-massages I get there. They are tremendously relaxing and erotic; usually leave me having to limp from basin to cutting chair with a massive erection sticking out of my ‘cape’.<\/p>\n
I don’t like the ‘cape’ they make everyone wear, it’s very girly. Yeah, I know it’s a girly hairdresser but still.<\/p>\n
I really don’t like chatting. Sometimes. There are times, like yesterday, when I don’t want to talk to anyone. I especially don’t want to sit trapped in a chair for 45 minutes exchanging meaningless banter with someone. A very nice someone, but someone who wouldn’t be in my top 100 people in my life list.<\/p>\n
So I lied and I’m sorry.<\/p>\n
When she asked me what I’d be doing today, if I was going to spend a lot of time with the horses (bless her, she still hasn’t remembered that I had to have Beech put to sleep last year, but at least she looks at me and thinks: horses) I replied that a member of my family has just been diagnosed with a near terminal illness and I’d be dealing with that.<\/p>\n
It had the desired effect, but I’m sorry I lied to get you to shut up and stop trying to get me to talk. And besides – conceptually speaking – it wasn’t too <\/em>far from the truth, not really.<\/p>\n But she did a great job and even this morning my hair looks very smart. So thanks. But I’m sorry.<\/p>\n B<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had my hair cut on Saturday. I go to a place in Worcester out of habit.
