Well, it certainly turned into "look at me" bloody hair - (read previous entry if you're not following) - i like to stand out in a crowd, but not because somebody accidentally dyes my roots flourescent magenta! I know i have a tendency to exaggerate for the sake of a good story, but i swear i am not even slightly talking this up. it was fluro pink. liz wanted to take a photo when it dried and we saw the colour, but i wasn't coping well with the whole thing and wouldn't let her. anyone out there who uses microsoft word, go to the section where you can change the colour of your font and there will be one hideously bright magenta pink - that was the colour of my hair.

thankfully they fixed it - they described it as fuscia. i must have look pretty distressed because some of the other hairdressers came up to me and put their hand on my shoulder and said "it'll be ok, love."

oh well, anything for a good story, i suppose...

same day, later-ish

have been through a period of intense counselling and am coping a little better now. the next few days are all about friends, music and art. we're in sydney staying with an old friend from college - Anne. She left us the keys with this (fabulously entertaining) old lady downstairs, and we walked in and took over her house. we've made a 3 course meal and bought wine and now we're waiting for her to come home - we asked her to pick up seaweed and tofu and i think she was a little overwhelmed by the whole thing. well, what sort of house guests would we be if we didn't send our host out on ridiculous errands before we've even seen her?

yes, ok, good ones, but don't argue with me when i'm on a self-inflated roll.

while we're in sydney we're also catching up with all kate miller-heidke's band, and we're planning to sell cds for them fri and sat. it's funny, it has only been 4 weeks since we saw them all, but i'm so looking forward to seeing them, particularly beautiful em, i think.
