Hair!

Why does my hair grow so quickly??! It must grow at an inch a month, at least! And why is there so much of it?!

I’m sure that every time I get my haircut my contribution to the floor’s ‘hair bedding’ is about 30% more than everyone elses, it’s just everywhere!!

I do like my local hairdressers though, they give me free drinks, a back massage during my hair wash and a lovely selection of… interior decoration magazines???… I did see a nice looking induction hob though!

It’s winter and my head is cold now.

Spoon or Fork?

Something I’ve noticed today during lunch… Why do people use forks to eat rice dishes???

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten rice with a fork, it’s always been a spoon for me. What’s the point? I can’t see a scenario where someone is going to find something large enough in their rice that would make them think, “That deserves to be stabbed and picked up with my pronged utensil”.

It makes even less sense on a plate! The humble spoon will allow one to scoop up a mini-mound of rice, whilst the poor fork user will be left with a less than suitable serving and potential throat stabbing accident on their hands.

Maybe it’s an East vs West thing? Western culture maybe so used to the knife ‘n’ fork scenario that they simply can’t force their fork-tuned hands to pick up a spoon for a savoury meal?

Nevertheless, I hold my spoon with pride.
