Also got a haircut. Found a place in Goose Green that looked really trendy, and since I’d just washed my hair I decided to get a “spray cut.” Means they don’t wash it, just wet it. Only cost me £10. Wow. So cheap. And it’s ½ block from my flat.
On the way home I noticed a woman who had an Illinois scarf around her neck. I stopped her (even though one doesn’t talk to strangers here). Turns out she was born in Chicago. Her father was an American and her mom a Brit. She’s been back here for several years. Her nephew goes to U of I, hence the scarf. And she knew where my hometown is—Quincy. Very cool. I gave her a cheesehead. In fact, she loves Wisconsin cheese and found a supplier here.
Tonight I finished my laundry and packed for Glasgow.
