I trimmed my few remaining hairs with the electric clippers this morning, which is the kind of pointless task I like to do at the weekend, and Amelie walked in and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was cutting my hair, to which she replied "Was it getting in your eyes?".

I took that as a rhetorical question. Frankly, these days the only way I'd get hair in my eyes would be if I developed pupils under my nose. But Amelie is a different matter. For the past couple of weeks she's been experiencing the fringe benefits of looking through a hair curtain at all times, so with us due to leave for sunny Blackpool on Monday, we decided to get her a holiday haircut today.

We ended up at Tai Hair & Beauty, a classy establishment in Hove where they cut the fringes of society for a fiver. On the way, we stopped off at Hove Town Hall, where I cheerfully handed over £108 for the privilege of being allowed to park my car outside my own home for another year, so by the time we got to the hairdressers, I needed a stiff drink. And fortunately they provide them free of charge...


That's Amelie downing her first vodka & orange of the afternoon. So with the drinks drunk, it was time to get on with the styling...


That's Amelie half cut. After which, things took a serious turn...


But having sorted out the purple pony's bad hair day...


... Amelie was soon trimmed, combed and ready for Blackpool...


Although once she's got her 'Kiss Me Quick' hat on, you won't be able to see it.
