3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
Happy Thursday Folks.
Yesterday was busy but it flowed like clockwork and started with a trip way East of where I am used to, to the Yarn store. The time spent there was shorter than I would have liked and I didn't get exactly what I wanted but I am positive about the result I will obtain from my purchase. Jen wants a blanket for her 21st. A reflection on the temperature here, I hear you laugh? Well, it's a reflection on her wanting something hand-made from her mum, I think.
She wanted a very pale pink but they didn't have enough of the one and only suitable yarn and so I went with white, which was her second choice. Well, first equal actually.
Now I just have to decide on what stitch I am going to use and find a pattern-any ideas.....anyone?
From the wool-shop, I proceeded to downtown Toronto and returned Jens Christmas onesy which was faulty. They were about to make it more complicated because it had been worn, when the cashier noticed the queue growing behind me and just gave me a credit.
I next went to pick up 2 tickets for Ben Howard, from ticketmaster and tucked them into my purse for the later swap for cash.
From ticketmaster to the Aveda Hair institute, for my colour which has ended up even darker than it was but it does look better on me and has a sprinkling of highlights on top. They charge $5 per foil-eek, so it can really bump up the price, if you are not careful. It wasn't as cheap as planned due to my 4 foils but it was still way cheaper than getting my hair done in an actual salon. I wrote about the experience last time and it was a similar experience because the wee girl I get is so attentive. Hand massage and back massage whilst your colour is taking effect and then a head massage at the sink. The giggle yesterday was that she is so attentive and slower than most of her fellow students that another girl appeared to help her blow dry my hair. I had to stifle a fit of the giggles (seriously stifle them as they almost erupted) because they were both pulling my head their way as they blow dried and it looked like they were having a bit of a competition. They also kept getting in each others way-lol. My wee girl was not completely happy with the intrusion but she was very professional about it.
Straight from there, I headed up to sell my Ben Howard tickets, to Jason who had answered my ad'. We had arranged to meet at Andrews Adidas store as it's central and not as busy as lots of the downtown places. He got there just after I did and the deal was done. Lovely young man who now just has to sell his own tickets for the Monday night, which he now can't manage.
I haven't travelled at peak rush hour before and it was mind-bogglingly busy in the subway. My huge bag of yarn needed manouvered many times but I wasn't phased and was lucky enough to get a seat as soon as I got on my second train, which was the longest part of the journey home.
After dinner, I headed down for some groceries, more because I had a daypass and Ali needed rolls for lunch than any great need for the other stuff that I topped-up on.
Finally got settled with a glass of wine and an episode of the 4400 around 9pm. Contented sigh.
My selfie isn't the greatest (it's like one of those no make-up and just woke-up ones that folk were posting a while ago-right?)and you may see no difference between it and the last colour but believe me when I tell you that it's better.
Much Love,
Lxxx
