It was even duller than I expected and I found myself becoming distracted by the fixtures and fittings in their bathroom.<br /><br />Thanks Richard for casting a professional's eye over the maths book - the design is even more impressive now that you've explained the technique. How wonderful that people went to so much effort for a dull old textbook.<br /><br />I'm concerned to read that the mullet is making a return. However, it's not as bad as the rats-tail - a style I've seen in some German and American children. I want to sneak up behind them with a pair of scissors, but that's probably against the law.Steerforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627936539372313828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-47095333630032060172011-07-22T15:17:43.846+00:002011-07-22T15:17:43.846+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pirata Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15498709489695668347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-6769631648954139282011-07-22T14:31:57.242+00:002011-07-22T14:31:57.242+00:00Wonderful!

As the mother of a teenager in full mid-morph, I found the series of five photographs really interesting, as well as your confirmation that the changes we go through are actually terrifying.
