Time again!

Rose and I went to the hairdresser this afternoon.  There was a lady and a girl in front of us but we chose to wait (no advance appointments in our local salon.)  Well they were having make-up put on and hair styled so it took a while.  I realised there was no clock in there (there did used to be). I did not have a watch on and no-one else had one on to sneak a peek at.  It turned out we'd been there nearly 2 hours by the time we got back to our house (it's only round the corner).  Time really does not have the same pressure here.

Rose had done really well- we spent some of the time looking for her sight words in the magazines and "I Spy" and leafing through magazines and watching the hair being styled.  As my hairdresser was finishing the lady's hair Rose whispered, "that's a lot of pins".  I whispered back, "I was just thinking the same thing!".  I was thinking how nervous I would be if it was me about the pins falling out.

The hairdresser was merrily explaining to the lady that I was a missionary and worked at Faith Academy and I had been going to him for 11 or 12 years - a slight elaboration but never mind!  I have been going there since we arrived and it is only 70 pesos (about 1 pound) for a haircut.
