With that in mind I present some ‘recent’ pictures (taken over the last few months). In December I went to a salon for a consultation and she gave me some excellent advice and the regime she suggested does seem to be working.Īnyway I have now got to the point where I think I can perhaps, just about, consider dropping the wig. That will be done in the future when I have more length and (hopefully) more body. Last year’s lockdown gave me an extended period of not being able to get a hair cut so I got through the really difficult ‘long-but-still-short’ phase which is annoying and messy and ugly and I am now getting some decent-ish length. This is still very much a ‘work in progress’ and I need to overcome something of a receding hairline as well as generally ‘thinning’ hair. So I have some ‘personal’ news I would like to share… I am thinking of dropping the wigs (sorry to disappoint you all, those hairstyles weren’t my ‘natural’ hair… SHOCK!

I feel that the depth of the characters allowed me to do something I can rarely do with the real people I encounter on a daily basis in my life - to truly know each and every one of them so fully and so deeply so as to be able to wholly sympathize with them and genuinely understand the motivations behind their actions, no matter how much I might disapprove.
