Not quite Aubergine on a busy Saturday

Having decided 2010 would be the year for bravado and try out new experiences:
I did a little wardrobe colour change
I chopped off my long tresses
I decided I would try driving in Europe, going wherever I fancied instead of having to plot out destinations in order to buy train and air tickets.
Tried out an Acid Colouring which requires bleaching 2 sections of my hair.

As Acid colouring doesn't last more than 2 months (it essentially turns lighter with each hair wash) I did a refresher today and although the colour wasn't as deep as I wanted, it's a good start. As a point of reference, I have always liked the discreet flashes of a deep aubergine or fuschia better than if I were to see someone who just died their entire head luminous pink.

After spending 5 senseless hours getting the hair done, AT and I headed over to Taka to get some errands done. The throng in town hasn't abated even though this is one of the rare times I actually deem fit to hit Orchard road on a weekend.

After this, we parted ways and I had to grab a cab to go home, pick up my little fluff and bring her to the vet for her annual shots. Apparently another teeth scaling is in order soon. Sigh!

After the shots, I decided we take a 1kilometre walk to the nearby nursery and get some soil, pots and compost. I almost died of heat stroke by the time I got there. I carried the fluff ball half the time and let her drag me around for the remainder. I wish I had more hands because the nursery was having a 2 for 1 sale on African Violets, something I've always wanted to try growing.

I left without the African Violets and between carrying my dog with one arm, and heaving two heavy bags of soil, compost and pots, I was pretty exhausted and ready to surrender by the time my ride came.

I had my first meal of the day during dinner, rested and went ahead to germinate 3 plants.

I don't think I've ever been this 'productive' for the longest time ever.
