Gardengirl Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Missing family is a biggie, I agree, but there’s nothing any of us can do but wait it out - and for those of us self-isolating, it’s a case of many months it seems. We normally see our younger son every weekday, multiple times, as his office is in one of the spare bedrooms, so we normally see him and his cheery face a lot each day. He isn’t self-isolating, but only goes shopping once each week or so to keep himself, his family and everyone else safe. He pops round by bike a couple of times a week as well as phoning each day (our elder son lives away but also phones daily) and we all skype at times. It’s been lovely to have such warm, sunny weather up to now, helps keep the spirits up. Hair - mine is normally cut to about ear length, but was last cut over 13 weeks ago; I was ill the day it should have been cut and started self-isolating a couple of days afterwards. It will be very long and unruly when we finally emerge from the house - maybe I’ll have found how to put it up by then, a chignon might be nice.

Gardian Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 What’s a ‘chignon’ GG?Thought it was a breed of dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxadrets Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Idun, we would have seen them all at least once, including visits here. It’s more the knowledge that if they needed us, or vice versa, it wouldn’t be possible. I know there are plenty of others in the same boat, and I’m doing my best. However, now and then I feel quite bereft. I’m 75, my husband is 80. Angela (who greets all other Angelas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 [quote user="woolybanana"]But Lori, if you have a head shave it will expose your tattoo which will frighten anyone you meet.[/quote]My daughter would laugh hysterically at that Wooly. I gave her all kinds of hell for getting a tattoo. I can relate to the not seeing family issues. Our daughter is only a 20 minute metro ride away and we miss seeing her very much. So close, yet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job !As I've said, if this building is in the slightest bit representative, the online websites will have either sold record numbers of sex toys or have an over-abundance of stock (due to no need). These are rare times in which I could really benefit from a less than excellent sense of hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Gardian, and anyone who thinks it’s anything else, it’s a hairstyle - one which I think looks elegant. I’m not really into elegance and think I probably couldn’t manage to style my hair in a chignon very well as I can’t lift my arms very high nor for long.example of a chignon: https://therighthairstyles.com/chignon-buns-formal-casual-looks/4/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well I live and learn, I did not know that that style was called a chignon, in fact, for all I have had my hair like that when I had long hair, I had no idea it had a 'name'[:D].

idun Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 auxadrets, that is a very sad, your feeling bereft. What can one say, I cannot think of any words to offer you, as we are all in the same boat and it will simply be a waiting game for us all.

Lehaut Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Youngest son is at home with us, as CRNS is closed. won't let his mother cut his hair, so she plaited it! Sent picture to eldest who in studying in Japan, (on very limited lockdown) he sent one of his very curly hair plaited for him by a colombian student during a picnic. Thank goodness for the internet.

auxadrets Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks Idun,I tried to contribute to the ‘war effort’ yesterday by making my own mask, using an online pattern provided by the Mairie. It’s HUGE and very rough hewn. Back to the drawing board.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Courage, auxadrets, from another Angela!I rooted around my fabric offcuts to see if I could make any masks, but they were all bits of curtain fabric, and too thick for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 For those that haven't noticed, I have posted about making an easy mask on 'put a sock on it'. Simple and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
