Body parts

Our latest purchase from CEX of reference 1 is 52 episodes of a new-to-us series called Mad Men, as at reference 2, for the knock down price of £3.

A series which seems to feature a lot of seriously unpleasant males and some moderately unpleasant females. Plus a great deal of smoking and some evidence of the US predilection for the portrayal of body functions. But watchable for all that; a change from the collected BBC Jane Austen, another bargain we have been getting good value out of in recent weeks.

Then watching episode 8 yesterday, we were reminded of the custom of keeping or exchanging locks of hair of loved ones, a custom which I do not think is much kept up these days, at least not in this part of Surrey - until I remembered that I had two locks of my very own hair, one of which is snapped above. Perhaps I ought to get a heritage box to put it in?
