When I was working I wore make-up every day. We were given to understand that appearances really counted. Since I have retired it's a special occasion thing.....and when I sing with the choir, I wear it then. I think of that as stage make-up.

Last week I had a little 'thing' burnt off my forehead, the penalty those of us with ancestors from the British Isles pay for living in sunny Oz. I'll be glad when it heals, because it feels like a headlight on my face.

And last year I felt ready to stop colouring my hair - it hasn't had any colour in since April, nigh on 11 months ago now, so it's an interesting brindle mix of colours.

Cheers
