funny haircut
So the standard British barber cuts your hair and gets you out of the chair quick sharp. Not so with our Eastern European friends setting up shop in our fair city! There is a wealth of options on offer.
- Cut hair?
- Tapers?
- And beard sir? Yes? No?
- Eyebrows.
- Ears? You need ears done. Yes.
- Tapering done. Neck shave yes?
Do not think these are for the pampering. No sir we use hairdrying in eyes and ears yes. Get rid of hair, better than tissue.

tiny house

TTHC's Eepoo house. Has wheels & snug loft.

This is quite good: somewhere to live, and very small. It's one of the slightly less tiny of the tiny houses from the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. This one, yours for a mere £26k. See, if you got a mortgage for £500 pcm, it'd be paid off in just over 4 years. Sleeps two, bargain. Probably even room to install the internets too.

I saw the Tumbleweed site a few years ago, it is nice. Today I have read a little about The Small House Society (video on that page at the mo too) and the Dream Small site.

Maybe I'll just chuck out all my stuff.

Flaps
The phone is equidistant from all other points in the flat. Thus, when it rings, you and all other inhabitants are also at equal distance from it, regardless of your starting position - a strange time-space phenomenon. There is always more than one person arriving at the phone to answer it.

It rang for the 3rd time that afternoon, so, determined to get there first (for the win) I leapt up out of my chair, bounded across my room, and jumped straight into the guitar amp. Big cracking sound as toes collided with amp controls, kicked a volume pot right off it, evil wide graze right along the side of my big toe, and hopped back to the chair to wait for pain to subside. Thought about pros/cons of having broken toes and getting frozen peas on the job. Decided coldness of peas would only add to the pain rather than distract or soothe.

There were skin flaps. ARGH.

(ps. it's better now.)
