Sledging on the sofa...

I got to thinking...
1.  Why is it when you pluck your eyebrows
you run the very real risk of plucking them into oblivion?

2.  Why therefore, doesn't the same thing happen when
you pluck your chin?
The exact opposite happens; they sprout ever more
aggressively and worse than that, they invite 
hairs of every colour and creed to join the party...
chin-crashing.


3.  How come men age so much better than women?


4.  Why do we blog?  

 5.  Are we being 100% honest when we say we're only doing this for ourselves?

 6.  Who are we kidding?
7.  Is it a form of cyber one-up-manship?

8.     How naff can you get, when the only wine you can drink is
a poncy rose?   Alright it's not...

9.  Why is it the washing machine works on overdrive
at the *end of our lives, like it does at the **beginning? 
(* washing widdly things... not me... the dog)
(** washing nappies... definitely showing me age here!)

10.  'Ours is not to reason why.
                                                  Ours is but to do and die.'

      Cheers Jill! What's the world coming to, when Chilean 'Casillero Diablo' rose wine is the only one that doesn't give me a migraine. Oh... that and Champagne... phew how lucky is that?

    Catching up on your blog posts and had to laugh at your hairdressing trauma. I did something similar a few weeks ago requesting "a change" to my normal crop and ended up with a Bradley Wiggins minus the sideys, feathered around my face to soften the wrinkles..not a good look on a fifty plus woman.
    Think I might request a Dame Judi next time....

      Julie, Ted said when I floated the idea of a short haircut... 'Why in the depths of winter?'
      Good question: you obviously like me, felt it was time for a change, no particular reason...
      just seemed like a good idea at the time! Men just don't get it do they?

    Sounds like you need more wine - that always helps! I'm on the G + T here - that's helping. Haven't seen your blog before, but you made me laugh, so I'll be back :-)

      Glad you like the blog VTT. So glad you've become a follower... thought I was forever going to be stuck at 34... on second thoughts... in years, perhaps that's were I'll stay.

    Number 3 is so UNFAIR - especially when ones other half already has a 5 year advantage over one! By the way - lovely Julie from The Cloth Shed looked young enough to be wearing school uniform when I last saw her!

      Julie will look even younger now Nilly... that's what short hair does for you. On arrival home Ted said 'Crumbs, it's knocked years off!' In bed, next morning; spying me like a walrus asleep on a lump of ice; he wasn't sure whether the bristles were on me chin or me 'ead!

    chin hairs are merely eyebrows that have slipped...

      And I thought they were pubes bucking the trend, travelling North, instead of the old age slippage South.
