Mrs Spike has been clipping my hair every month for the last 20 or so years. Must have saved a couple of grand in haircuts over that time.

I haven't shaved in three weeks.

I was shocked to discover that my beard is bright ginger. Now that's a hard day.

I did the same Ron. Bought a set of clippers from the local DIY store and had Mrs Gold do the business.

She did a pretty good job. Didn't give her a tip though as I had to brush up the clippings.

Don’t worry BIGRON ,you won’t be the only one with a bad haircut. We’re all in the same boat. Things are gonna start turning ugly out there .

I’m beginning to resemble something between Robinson Crusoe and the Wild Man of Borneo.
An improvement, some might say, but seriously WTF are we gonna do for a haircut until June.

Hadn't shaved since lock down and I thought I was cutting a rather sophisticated, mature 'Connery-esque' look with rugged grey foliage.

Until my eldest said after sending a video message to my Grandaughter that "..... Didn't realise Grandad had gone hobo"

It's gone now.

Top tip!
Get her to check she's put the spacer on, then YOU check the spacers on. First time the wife did it, I heard the exclamation, whoops. A look in the mirror revealed a neat path cut through the centre of the head. Remember, once cut you can't stick it back on.
