WEDNESDAY IN AUSTRALIA

 

The first thing I am doing this morning is this:

ABOVE:  Inside those pieces of glad wrap is a lock of Lorraine's hair, and mine.

ABOVE: I have bought two identical soft toys, and I will be cutting them both open, just enough to slip in the lock of hair, then stitching them closed again.

They are a keepsake, one for Lorraine with my hair in it, and one for me, with Lorraine's hair in it.

I have a soft toy at home with a lock of my Mum's hair in it.  I look at it every day, as it's beside my bed.  I shall add my 'Lorraine Keepsake' there when I get home.

ABOVE:  Maxine (niece), redid her Mum's hair colour last night, and added some purple streaks.  It looks so lovely.  

I think they were going to cut her fringe (bangs) as well, but I didn't stay long enough to see that done.

After I  have done the 'keepsakes' I plan on walking to the shopping centre again.  I need the exercise.  I'll try and wear something lighter today, though I only brought warm clothes. Whoops.  I'll just have to tough it out till I go home.

The girls will be picking me up later on this morning, then we will be out and about again.
