And the cooling aspect is good, too.<br />My dog got her summer haircut today, and the other day I cut my own hair -- took off a couple of inches all around. When I go out in the summer, I wear a hat, so I figure it won't matter. <br />We do live in interesting times, n'est-ce pas.Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-71811612523451505702020-06-27T23:26:27.014+02:002020-06-27T23:26:27.014+02:00Here is what Merriam-Webster says about tonsure :

Talking about an intentional bald spot (or the creating thereof) is not a common topic of discussion in my world, I guess--ha! So, tell me, then, in French, is <i>tonsure</i> used for an unintentional bald spot? Or is there a phrase in French that is different, to imply that kind of balding?<br />JudithSeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-68854865336234634022020-06-27T15:32:25.240+02:002020-06-27T15:32:25.240+02:00Very good looking haircut, make it your permanent ...Very good looking haircut, make it your permanent style!BettyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515411225404016249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-4488458599123635682020-06-27T15:15:02.755+02:002020-06-27T15:15:02.755+02:00The new cut looks good and should be much cooler d...The new cut looks good and should be much cooler during hot summer days.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-57769176839233425442020-06-27T15:05:27.817+02:002020-06-27T15:05:27.817+02:00Your new haircut looks great!
