While I did think my new pictsie haircut was quite pleasing, it was with not a little angst and trepidation that I rocked up with the new ‘do to the SaltMinesLimited.

In particular, I was expecting some grief from Heather. He is notoriously hyper-critical (in the style of my good self: indeed it is primarily what we are famed for) in these matters.

To my relief he utterly and absolutely adored it.

As has everyone who has encountered me since – even the Doctor’s receptionist. Everyone has gushed and raved and marvelled at my gorgeousness.

Rather makes one wonder quite how unkempt and less than optimal I looked prior to the chop.
