You're lucky to be able to swim. My daughter is upset that her swimming lake has been forced to close by new regulations.

Re hair, can you believe this? Early last year I decided to try a barber's instead of my usual hairdresser. I went into one shop and they flatly refused to cut my hair because I'm a woman. They got a pretty stiff lecture from me but they *weren't nice*. My hair is shorter than most men's! Luckily, a nice young man elsewhere gave me a good chop. I've been cutting my own recently, eek!
