A day late with this one, which pretty much exposes me as breaking my own rules. The idea was that I'd upload at the end of the two weeks whatever I had. But truth is, I didn't have anything.

I'm going to make a new one every two weeks, and upload what…

And so she fantasised about a world where hairdressers were like plumbers. Just getting the j…
