I've been dying my hair blue-black for so long (6-7 years, I reckon) I'd forgotten what colour *other* hair dyes were while developing.

The blue-black one looks blue-black in the bottle.

This one (Schwarzkopf's Red Black) started off the colour of Dulce de Leche (mmmm). 20 minutes on, it's gone the colour of a fresh conker. It's quite reassuring, really; the ginger I used to use looked pinky-scarlet while on. At least I know I won't end up with green streaks.

Oops. I hadn't thought about what a slightly lighter colour would look like over the top of black. Most of it's gone a slightly reddish black, as advertised. The roots? The roots, which had got to about half an inch long, are glowing. I look as if my scalp's on fire, under a thick layer of charcoal.

Oops.

Told you.

I knew I'd forget something. I didn't expect it to be Jeremy Clarkson & the knob of butter.

We walked past a shop selling jacket potatoes with "fillings you've never dreamed of". Naturally, I had to point out the extent of things I *have* dreamed of (though not, admittedly, as baked potato fillings). Hence [livejournal.com profile] faerierhona got the mental image of Clarkson spreadeagled across a piping hot potato, with a strategically placed knob of butter. And only then realised what she'd implied :)

Other stuff.

My Employers have been recognised as a Stonewall Diverstiy Champion. This is rather good.

The Bridgewater Hall, which I visited yesterday to collect details of its lunchtime concerts, has a capacity of 2,397. This struck me as very odd; why not make the usable space that little bit larger, for a nice round 2,400? The concerts do sound good - everything from jazz to piano / violin duets, a baroque set, and all free and over lunchtime.

[livejournal.com profile] brute_force? Get your coat, you've pulled. Pootle has barely moved from where you slept, and keeps rolling around & behaving like a little catnipped-up hussy. This is most out of character for her.
