(pen) Wait till you get to my age. "Now, what did I come up here for?"
Hairdressers open? I'm beginning to look a bit 70's-ish, instead of 70-ish.

Hairdressers open. My favourite hairdresser now does it from home in Rotterdam but her husband is a Covid denier so I'm not going to go back there yet. I don't know where he's been. And the nearest village hairdresser made a hack of it when I went there in November so I'm not going back there (although it's had plenty of time to grow out). I might have to try the next town over - the historic one with a marina and a few posh shops. They're probably only any good at the windswept-been-out-sailing-all-day look though, and I can manage that all by myself.

Keep it short enough, and you can keep it short enough yourself.

(Raak) Logical enough but having a good thick mop at my age is something you tend to hang on to and it needs a bit of professional attention.

I'm never having short hair again. I was mistaken for a boy too many times in my teens when I had short hair and it left scars.
