A Family Trip to the Hairdressers

The snow was so rubbish last weekend we decided not to go this weeked, or indeed until the next decent snow fall. So we are having a busy weekend at home.

Bella has been asking to have her hair cut short in to a bob for the longest time. I always loved her short bobbed hair, but she has been growing it for 2 years, so I have been putting her off. However her persistancy has continued so we went en famille to the hairdressers, and three members of the family are now the proud owners of new haircuts. Bella has now entered the cycle we females all enter...grow hair, grow hair, cut it all off. Grow hair , grow hair, cut it all off. It looks great, but takes a bit of getting used to again

We then went to Decathlon in France. Main reason was to buy myself a road bike and Bella a new bike, to replace the nasty small pink one I bought for her from the second hand market in Divonne 2 years ago... We bought the bikes. Very happy with mine, just need to remember to use it now. Bella also has a nice new bike to learn to ride on. Malcolm insists it isn't necessary for a child to be able to put the feet on the floor when they are sat on the seat. Have to say I'm not convinced, but am sure she'll grow in to it. WHilst we were there we bought lots of stuff. For those of you who haven't been to Decathlon, it's the Ikea of sports shops. You go there with the intention of buying one thing and come out with tonnes of things you didn't plan for, but they just seemed so cheap and necessary. So Bella also kitted out with in-line skates, and Sebby with a rather large skateboard (?) amongst other things. I can see a few more trips to the E.R. on the horizon.
