This morning I've got a few options on what to do.
I could go to Cambridge and mosaics.
I could join the village walking group and do a 6 km walk.
I could stay home and do some sewing.
So... what to do? Maybe do the walk then sew?
This puzzle is a very good quality one too, making it even nicer to work on.
Right, enough waffling.... I shall lie here and read the news, then .... let's wait and see.
I have NEVER done anything with my eyebrows, except use a pencil now and then.
Today I decided to do what my niece in Australia suggested, and get them henna dyed.
ABOVE: My immediate reaction? '
"Holy shitballs!" The ladies laughed their heads off, and kept laughing every time I looked in the mirror and did clown faces at myself!
4.10 pm and I've spent the afternoon fluffing around in the house, taking Coco for a walk around the village (she absolutely loves it), and having a lie down.
I used my massager on my back and shoulder/arm and I think it helped a bit.? Time will tell. I'm going to use it every day for a week and see what happens.
Stew will be home soon, and then I'll be taking him to the pub, and visiting the kids, until I join him there later on.
8.15 pm, just home from the pub. We had a lovely evening, catching up with the kids, then all our friends at the pub. Lot's of compliments on me new eyebrows too. 😉😊
Time to wind down, take some painkillers and later on head off to bed.
Catch ya tomorrow.
A walk sure sounds nice. I hope your weather is good. Mine is gorgeous! Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteSend her my way. Anymore it kills my back to vacuum. I'm living on Tylenol Arthritis and Lidocaine patches.

Oh boy I hope those pain killers kick in soon.
ReplyDeleteUmmm I have no words about eyebrows but for people who have fair hair it’s a game changer.
What did you do! ??? Is that dye, a tattoo?
ReplyDeleteIt looks thick, like a paste, so maybe dye. Oh my.
DeleteVickie
No words 😍
ReplyDeleteBad back……Chris I have two popped discs in my lower back, not being a hero here, getting up out of bed is not great, however, walking is the best remedy for me. Once I get moving, go to gym, go for 8k walk after it, my back is absolutely set for the day. Not saying anyone has to do this, it’s my habit, but if I didn’t do it, I’d be stuffed. No painkillers either. Marie
ReplyDeleteHair down might help hope it fades before your holiday
ReplyDeleteFirst photo was with the dye on.... looks better now.
DeleteThey look so good! Hope your back pain settles down. It sounds awful 😢 (NicRunning Girl)
DeleteIt will be interesting to see each week what the henna does over time.
DeleteVickie
I'll take photos ... then I'll know when to get them redone as well.
DeleteI’ll be watching closely! I want to get mine done now :)
DeleteWell, I think this worked pretty well. If it fades a bit I think it will look even more natural . My husband has blond (nonexistent) eyebrows. I am so used to it. It looks totally normal to me. But, I understand wanting your brows show and this seems like a perfect solution. Now - figure out how to do it yourself at home and you will be all set!
ReplyDeleteI think they are going to look great. What is the maintenance on them Chris?
ReplyDeleteMy daughter gets her eye brows done occasionally as she is a red head and hers fades nicely after a couple of days
ReplyDeleteEyebrows not for me. Marie
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I have been thinking of getting mine done as mine aren't ever good. Take care with your back. I agree though walking but not overdoing it is best therapy.
ReplyDeleteOh glory….I thought the first photo was the final result! Bold choice, I muttered to myself, bold choice. I think the finished brows look great though!
ReplyDeleteFew years ago I thought it would be fun to dye my hair again - I should explain that through weird family genetic, my hair turned bright silver white when I was 15. Eyebrows have stayed thick black though, insultingly. So, I hennaed it. Chris….a DISASTER! Neon Orange. And I had bum length curly fuzzy hair. It was coco the clown come to life!
Did you take a photo of the disaster? Sounds like it was worth seeing! lol
DeleteI think my brother snuck a photo. I was mortified beyond reason! I cut it to about chin length , forgetting that the weight of long hair was all that held it down. So then I had mad cat lady orange hair halo. I cried quite a lot…
DeleteEyebrows look good. They always seem dark when first done but they'll look amazing tomorrow. Really makes such a difference... i have pale blondie ones and colour them in every day 😉
ReplyDeleteAt least henna fades if you don't end up liking them. I would never get proper tattooed ones, seen some disasters lol
ReplyDeleteCaterpillars?
ReplyDeleteOmg.... I remember when in NZ once my s in law took me to get my eyebrows done. Shock. Horror. They do tone down but I much prefer my blonde almost non existent ones. Don't worry. You always look terrific!!
ReplyDeleteHave you considered massage therapy for your shoulder & back? I find them to be so incredible for pain. Once you're feeling better the walking group will be so much fun for you. You loved that Cambridge club.
