Went to the hairdressers today, looking forward to getting a new look ready for the festive season. What I used to enjoy was being able to have a chat about holidays, what we’re doing for Xmas, have we got all our presents yet.
Getting the new look means having a colour on the grey roots which means I have to take out my hearing aids. I say to her I won’t be able to hear anything now, she continues to chat away as I try to lip read her in the mirror. I have to say sorry I am not catching what you are saying. She squeezes my shoulder, smiles and she says it is okay just relax. I try to but still feel a bit tense as I can see in the mirror the other hairdressers having a good old chat with their clients as I sit here in silence but she smiles at me as she works away, she understands.
Then an hour later feel much better loving my new hair style, hearing aids back in able to have a chat with her while I pay my bill so all is well again.
