Bi-annual hair cut and a fantastic surprise!

I've had two lovely gifts this week, the first appeared after lunch on Monday when I was working from home. A much lusted after Canon 5D Mark II!! I was very excited and couldn't stop jumping up and down in disbelief that this lovely new camera was now mine :) The past few days have seen me get to grips with the new menus and settings and experimenting with the HD video function (it's very good!). I feel like a real pro now I have a back-up camera. ~ To my trusty 30D - I still consider you to be my second baby and won't be selling you any time soon, I promise. ~

The second surprise was a gift voucher for a head massage and hair re-style. Not something I would think about doing for myself, but after Maia's trendy haircut
(see right) at the beautiful salon, Reference Coiffure (James' hairdresser) I began thinking that I might suit having a fringe again and having some length taken off.

The head massage was divine and truly relaxing. It's not often these days I get to really relax. If I'm at home, I am too close to work and can't stop thinking about it or working on stuff. The nearest I get is actually with my knitting, but even that these days has become mostly work related! The head massage was given during a deep shampoo and condition and took place whilst laying in an electronic massage chair in a curtained off area in the corner of the beautifully light salon - a very nice touch.

I would highly recommend this salon, for both men, women and children. They were very friendly and I absolutely love my re-style. I just hope that my very low-maintenance beauty routine can keep it looking good.
