Feeling My Age

Getting older has its drawbacks – but it's a lot better than the alternative.

Not Just Hot Air

Dead hair dryer

It’s the end of an era: our whole family has used this hairdryer for literally decades. I bought it back in the 80s while still a confirmed a batchelor. It’s faithfully blown out hot air ever since – first for me, then for Wife, and finally in due course for both our children.

Until today… when Wife tried to turn it off and the handle briefly – but spectacularly – burst into flames. She dropped it with a yell and survived unscathed, but the dryer is dead forever.

Child K has insisted on choosing a replacement better suited to her own teenage grooming requirements.

We shall not see its like again :-(
