There was a
storm this afternoon - thunder, lightening, very, very frightening. Unable to get outside to do any gardening I
decided to use the time to dye my eyebrows.
I am very blonde/grey and I like a
little definition so that people can actually see when I raise a quizzical
eyebrow. I’m not after a scouse brow but
I find that I need to leave the dye on a bit longer than the prescribed 10
minutes to get any effect.
So while my
brows were ‘cooking’ I decided to do some upholstery work. This is an old
bedroom chair that I am re-covering, first with calico and then some plush
damask. It is very therapeutic
stretching the fabric and tapping the tacks into place. I lost track of time and suddenly realised
that an hour had gone by since I put the dye on my brows.
For godsake
they’re not even a matching pair! I may have to wear a hat for a week or two.
I find my eyebrows (and other facial hair) are dark until I get the tweezers out, adjust my glasses, the magnifying mirror and the anglepoise by which time the strays have turned white to seethrough.
ReplyDeleteA hat won't cover your eyebrows, you wear it on top of your head not over your face. Take it from me, a hat wearer.
ReplyDeleteBalaclava then.
