As I get older, I find that hair is causing me a problem. Less on my head, more on my face and as for my legs-well. I have never had such dark, profuse and long hair on my legs. I cant believe that at one time I didn't bother shaving my legs that often as the hair was fine, very blonde and just on my shins. Suddenly, I'm not keeping up with it. I know its all vanity, but I like to deal with it.
However, what has really bothered me over the past year or so is nose hair. At first, I would notice the odd hair poking out of my nostril. I would get my mirror, a magnifying glass and a pair of tweezers. I would eventually manage to pincer the rogue hair and pull. Oh the pain. There can be little as exquisitely painful as plucking a nose hair.
Then the hair got more profuse. I bought one of these small hair remover thingys that has a nasal hair removal piece. The results were random. I lived in fear of a rogue hair springing to attention while I was at work, dealing with the public face to face
Anyway, today, I have found something that will revolutionise my nasal hair problem. A waxing kit. It is amazing
It felt a bit odd putting hot wax up my nose but it wasn't so bad. What was bizarre was waiting the required time with two wax covered mini spatula type things up my nose, meanwhile looking like Blackadder in the trenches with pencils up his nose crying wibble
I waited and the 90 seconds passed. I prepared to grasp the spatulas and pull downwards, sharply. I nearly lost my nerve. If it was bad pulling out one hair, what about numerous hairs in both nostrils.
I took a deep breath and yanked. It was OK. And oh the joy of looking at the wax covered spatulas bristling with those pesky hairs. And one glance in the mirror revealed hair free nostrils. It has made my Sunday!
Good Morning Friday 14th August 2026
Ah dear - why does getting older equate to diminished brain power?
