Get me to the Hair Salon on Time

So you think life as a Silver Blogger means lazing around the home and taking things slower?

Nope, you're in for a shock, especially if you walk in my footsteps, and many of my fellow Silver Bloggers' I'm sure!

My mop of hair was getting wilder as the days turned into weeks and then months ;) The last time I managed to get to the hair salon was just under three months, a couple of days before the loss of Mom Lily!

My feathers almost looked like these poor Naked Neck Pullets who were walking outside my favourite little hair salon just down the road, while Sir Rooster was very well-groomed :) No one knows to whom they belong!

I had not been out on the roads ever since the horrific night of the Subtropical Depression “Issa” that caused much destruction to property and loss of lives.

Everyone had been saying how busy some of the roads were at any time of the day, as many roads were closed due to damage, but I did not realize just how busy!
A trip that used to take me 5 minutes, now took 20 minutes, I felt like I was on my way to work like back in my working days when driving through peak traffic!

The reason for the diversion to my hair salon is this damaged bridge.

Hubby was driving and I was snapping away, shocked at seeing the damage everywhere, and all the debris that had washed into a river along the way.

Make-shift sandbags to try and stop the debris washing onto the road again. The authorities are working around the clock as the task is way greater than we could ever have imagined!

We're still behind the same vehicle and the going was slow!

We finally made it...not on time...but my hairdresser said that because of that main road that is the quickest route to her salon being closed, her business has dropped considerably!

She is a perfectionist, the most awesome woman, and I'm not sure about my other Hive gal-friends, but my hairdresser is almost like my counselor as she knows me very well. She used to cut Mom's hair, so shed a couple of tears with me, but I always feel lighter when I leave there; not just because of losing some of my feathers, but because I've shed some of that load I've been carrying on my shoulders, and we both end up chuckling away as I hear all the latest gossip!

No before-pic, you'd run a mile, only the afterpic ;)
The birds behind me are chuckling away and wondering what this old bird is doing as their feathers look way better ;)

Today is Earth Day and also day 22 of my attempt at #Hiveblopomo, an initiative of the awesome bizzy Queen Bee @traciyork, encouraging all Hivers to write a blog a day for the month of April. Day 30 is not so very far away, and I've really enjoyed this challenge thus far!
