I went to see my beautician today, to have the hair removed from my
chin and face and get my eyebrows waxed. Every time I go I marvel at my ability
to withstand torture for the sake of how I look. What fools we women are.
Nevertheless I already feel better only five hours later.
I paid her £17.00 for 20 minutes work, which is far more than I could
hope to earn in the time. Why are writers paid so badly? (Rhetorical question.)
Of course, at my age I shouldn’t be working at all really, but I certainly
couldn’t afford things like that if I didn’t.
I also booked in Jade for a grooming session and that will cost £30 but
I don’t begrudge that. She will come home looking sleek and clean with all that
winter fur gone, and she won’t pick up as much grime with less hair for it to
cling to.
Jade of course is another reason for me to carry on bringing home the
bacon. Last week she went to the vet for her annual boosters and check up. I
won’t tell you how much that cost. I’m just relieved that she got a clean bill
of health, even though I now have to put her on a diet and cut down the number
of treats she gets. She’s a big cavvie and a little too heavy, was the verdict.
Just like her mum.
We went to Sandbanks beach on Saturday and she went wild with delight
and ran round and round for about 20 minutes, so that should help. Something
strange has happened to the beach. It was difficult to get on and off the
promenade because the sand has been blown up into dunes, with a huge drop like
a moat against the sea walls. It’s usually just a flat expanse as it is in this
photo, so it really did seem strange.

Jean, It appears that we have more in common than our first names. Happy weight lost to you and your furbaby.:)
Love your photos...as always.
Waxing, now that sounds painful. As for why writers get paid so poorly; just one of those things we have to accept, I guess. But it's funny, anyone who isn't a writer seems to be under the impression that we get paid a fortune. I wish.
enjoy your posts it is very interesting to read thank you
Jean - I no longer bother weighing myself, but try not to eat too many of the wrong things, and exercising Jade helps. She has now been clipped and has to wear a sheepskin lined coat to go out. She doesn't look fat at all now.
John - it's certainly true we don't earn what other people believe we do.
