Pink hair salon
I went to a lecture today for the unit I’m going to be tutoring. They are almost all in their first semester of their first year. It was even their first lecture. They are seventeen or something. I’m hoping this means malleable, enthusiastic students - perhaps even ones that are willing to read the course materials. However, it may just mean a never-ending Tim Tam packet of dumb.
Caught up with James and that affable fella we all know as Glen (who, through provision of wheels, helped my furnish myself with a new office chair so large that it and I cannot be in my apartment at the same time (much like Glen and his car magazines)). We had drinks and played pool, which I’m getting slowly better at.
Just now I noticed an ad that has lots of young girls stuffing their bras - it’s for breast cancer awareness. If you look at the ad very closely you will see a neat deco pink & purple hair salon that is just down the road from me. I think it might be closed now though.

Marie Louise Salon or something? I’ve seen that add. I’ve seen that shop [but never open].
Your life is sounding non-stop exciting.

I used to live opposite that salon, in the apartments above the furniture shop on the other side of the road. It did used to open then, but the hours were a bit eccentric. Often there were film crews or photographers using the exterior or interior for shoots. With a minimum of dressing it can still pass as ’40s or ’50s. Cool place. The lady who owned it was very eccentric. To you remember the cat pics in the window with their tongues poking out, alongside a pic of John Howard doing the same? I loved her ever since that day.

Nails - and your life?
Andrew - you’re a real font of knowledge when it comes to Newtown aren’t you? I’ll look for cat pictures next time I go past.
