In The Words Of
by Carl Marsh
If you look closely at my picture above, you will see I have had a monumental change to my hair colour. Quite drastic! I have always wanted to get blonde hair since I was very young, even if only to see what I would look like. The reason I finally took the plunge? Well... I had opted to take the COVID-19 vaccine. It mainly was peer pressure as I am one of those people who has never had the flu jab, and I have never had the flu. So, I am not anti-vax; I am just pro-health and pro-fitness. I had the vaccine injection, and to cut a long story short, I got very ill from the side effects. I had problems breathing, cold sweats, hot sweats, and no sleep; this went on for only 24 hours, but it was still enough to make me think that life is too short - hence, the hair colour change! I like it. I know my family has told me it suits me, which is a challenge to get any compliments. I had it done at Ocean Hairdressing in Roath by Ijan Davies-Emrus and Lauren. I know I was in there for hours, and Ijan is such a find if you fancy the ultimate advice on a new style; do book in with these guys, although it might be a few weeks to wait, as they are that busy!
for that year. I have been waiting since then for this second offering. OK, so I binge-watched the whole of Black Summer series two - I seldom do this! It’s an addictive and muchneeded distraction from what is going on in all of our lives. It’s a great show that had to be delayed for COVID, but thankfully, completed at the end of 2020. The acting steps up a gear from the first series, and so does the budget in the effects. Fortunately, it’s not as apparent as the last series of The Walking Dead, where you could see they used less cast for COVID protection reasons, which only made Black Summer series two even better for me.
Reviews With no events over the last 15 or 16 months, it was nice to be asked to go to something. That something was The Parkgate Hotel. Venture to the next page to read and see what I thought. I can only hope this won’t be the last new hospitality establishment to open up this year in Cardiff! Interviews To make up for the above review and only one interview, I have a special one, and it’s a proper local lad who’s done well: Colin Jackson. He is as lovely as you would expect him to be; then times that by twenty. That’s all! Until next month; enjoy your July! Viva la Summer!
