No visa, no eurostar, no retightening

My visa for the UK wasn't ready last Friday so I didn't travel and I missed my retightening appointment on 19th Dec. I was quite upset about this until I heard about the eurostar problems due to severe weather conditions. I thank God I did not travel coz I would have been scared crazy had I been stuck under that tunnel. I felt sorry for those poor passengers stranded for hours without food and water and hardly any information.

Anyway, despite missing a retightening appoitnment, my locks are not doing too poorly - they're 8 months old and they've developed quite well except for the dandruff problem. I last retightened on 23 October, well over 8 weeks. Twice I had to ask Mugure to retighten some of the locks in front which were ready to drop. Thanks Mugure, a chocolate cake's coming your way!

I contacted three lockticians in London to help me with retightening me since Marie was unavailable until early in the new year. They were all busy. One of them said she wouldn't even want to retighten me coz she didn't want to spoil Marie's good work. Actually that lady, bless her heart, helped me decide not to go for another locktician other than Marie. In fact it was just as well coz I couldn't even get a reasonably priced eurostar ticket in this high holiday season. A single way ticket to London is over 200 euros - that's ridiculous.

I got in touch with Marie for an appointment and it's fixed for 7 January. In the meantime am going to have to be very careful about my hands in my hair. I pray that my locks will stay on my head until then.
