Hair Cuts

Yep, I got my hair cut a few days ago. We went to this barber in the middle of Keighley because he only charges £5 and he seems to be pretty proficient in what he does. He's from the middle east, but speaks pretty clear English. I described to him how I would like him to take off about "That much" using my fingers to show him, and then to clean up the sides. At one point it was perfect! It looked really good and I thought we were done, then he took these scissors and CUT OFF ALL MY HAIR!!!! Lol, I think he thought I meant to keep about "that much" on *Sigh* well, at least it's easier to style now! Lol, it's only been a few days though, and it's already growing in and looking wayyyyy better, so I think it'll be perfect in another few days. 

Here in Keighley it's not at all uncommon to see people from the middle east. Most of the city is actually from there, and so a good proportion of the people are Muslim, which is totally fine because they're some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! 

A couple of things that I've had to learn over here:

  

1. The letter Z is Zed here. I don't know why and no one can explain it to me. 

2. H is pronounced Hay-ch, almost like a very breathy pronunciation of Hay with a ch at the end.

3. Kids loooovvvvveeeee America. Like, anyone under the age of 14 thinks it's the best place ever. 

4. People from Yorkshire hate people from Lancashire and vice verse

5. People from Lancashire claim to be "True Englishman" 

All right, Sorry y'all but my camera is seriously dead again so no chance of pictures this week. Sorry! I'll by rechargeable batteries! I also need to buy new shoes because mine have torn to shreds :( Love you guys so much! Oh btw, did Fathers day already happen back in the states? The English have a different day for Mothers day then us, so I just assumed but I'm not sure? LOVE Y'ALL SO MUCH! Talk to you soon!

Mom's note: (also known as the editor) were you aware that Brennan is serving his mission in Bronte Country?  I love Jane Eyre so much that warms my heart to think of it (don't get me started on Wuthering Heights though.  Not a fan!)  

He did not send photos but I found one of "bronte country" online.
