The Fringe
Every time we go to the hairdressers Mila asks for a fringe.
I get it.
I’ve always wanted one too, thanks to Brigitte. (No, not Jones. The other one).
Every time I go, the hairdresser always says the same thing.
“You won’t suit a fringe sweetie, your forehead is too small.” 😭😭😭
Sob, sob. Sniff, sniff.
So, I never get one.
Mila likes to practice her fringe in the mirror sometimes, by clipping up her hair. 😂
Then we take a regular pic to compare.
I was busy at work when farmer Jim sent me a video message.

Home haircuts were happening at the farm!
And Mila wanted a fringe! 😁
I had to say yes, right?
I was nervous, but it was her choice.
In the end it was pretty tame. A little framing around the face.
She would have been in heaven with the ‘big girls’ fussing over her. 🥰
“So how was the day, guys?” I asked excited to hear their news.
“I got hit in the lip with a frisbee and hit on the head with a Katana.” Linc said flatly.
“Oh no, show me.” I replied.
His swollen little pout was so cute!!
“Oh, it looks ok. Just a graze.” I soothed.
“We’d just won the frisbee game and I turned around and cheered and it hit me right in the face.” He was up on his feet acting it out.
“It was the perfect shot.” He said impressed.
“How about morning circle?” I asked. “What did Mila ask for, the waterfall?”
“Yeh she waterfalled.” Linc said with a smirk.
“What did you ask for?”
“Katana’s, carbs & forging. Because I only go to the farm for those things.” He announced.
“We made damper Mum!” Mila said jumping up and down. (She calls me mama less & less 😒)
“It was our carbs.” Linc said.
“I love damper! Did you eat it with lots of jam?” I asked.
“No, first we made a long worm, then wrapped it around sticks then cooked it in the fire and then we pulled it off and squished the bottom and filled it right up to the brim with honey!” Mila said delighted.
“Yeh, with lots of butter.” Linc added.
“We hung out in the cargo net.” Said Mila.
“Really, a cargo net. Is it hung up in the trees?” I wondered.
“Uh-huh.” She replied.
“How high is it?”
“About 5 meters.” She answered.
“Oh, that would have been fun. Did you just hang out up there?” I said.
“Yeh, and I hung upside down from my knees.” She says proudly. “I was the only one, oh and Zali did it too.”
Meanwhile
Liam was out mushroom foraging and bought back a whole box of pine mushrooms and made the most beautiful risotto!!
Tomorrow’s the start of the season for winter sport.
Our Saturday morning sleep ins are officially on pause.
At 8am. We will be courtside. 😴
