Today it was my Hückel petting hat for a big step…getting all my hair cut off.
Etsuko’s not so sure about the new look, but I’m surprisingly happy with it.
Sunday. Akubra Stylemaster for some grocery shopping.
Temperatures back up to shorts & T-shirt levels…in November!
It cooled down in the evening. We enjoyed some snapper on the barbecue. I wore my regular barbecue hat - the Akubra Cattleman.
Yesterday it was the same Akubra for more...
Well, I’ve gone ahead and done it. The place I got it done doesn't shave heads, so I got their shortest buzz cut (0.8mm). It didn’t feel as weird as I thought it would. I’m quite happy with it, but now I need to make a decision as to whether to continue with buzz cuts or to shave. If I go...
