Had a hairchop today (prompting, as ever, cries of "Haircuhuhut" from my housemates), and I was very impressed. It was the first time ever ever in my 29 years of having my hair cut that the barber offered to trim my eyebrows. I thought wow, what a great barber. It has clearly slipped the mind of all previous barbers.

Only of course it's not necessarily that the others were lacking by not offering such a service. The other explanation is that I'm ageing, and thus hair is protruding from places it shouldn't. Indeed, this morning I bought my very first nose-hair trimmer. Too much information I know, but that's what blogs are for. It is a definite step towards the ageing direction. See my previous post for the more serious reasons that this week sees me feeling like I'm growing up finally. Well today is proof in a more trivial way that the ageing process even happens to us twentysomething (where 'something' = as high a number as possible).

So let's for the moment presume that it's not that I'm ageing that caused today's barber to offer an eyebrow trim. Let's presume instead that it's just that it has a highbrow (as well as eyebrow) salon in a chic part of town, where such a deluxe service is offered as standard. And where is this fine salon, you may ask? Mr Toppers, Goodge St, £6.
