what people will do for dogs at great expense is astonishing, a very first world problem.

That's another example of the causes of our current problems with inflation as expressed by the Governor of the Reserve Bank - people spending money on haircuts. If she had her way, people would even stop giving sheep haircuts, saving millions in the costs involved in shearers' wages, product sorting and packaging, and transport.

A dog averages $80. They also do doggie daycare/playdates, what people will do for dogs at great expense is astonishing, a very first world problem.

What with the outragous cost of keeping the family pets, is it any any wonder that young newly-weds can't afford their first McMansion?

Talking about haircuts, my hair is getting a bit unruly, not overlong, but untidy. I was sitting at the computer at the Men's Shed on Thursday when someone put their hand on my shoulder and said "Where do you get your hair done?". I turned around and it was the guy who used to have the barber shop near my place that I used to go to. He has been retired since before the pandemic, and called in for a visit with another shed member. I said, "My son usually does it these days. I need a cut before Christmas."

I have to make time for a haircut but I have to make up my mind as to which one. No I jest. It hasn't even receded but it's thin and hard to do a neat job with so I need a professional job to look as if someone owns me. Nev

I've got a young Italian barber who does a very good job on my thinning patch - but it seems every time I visit, the price goes up. Maybe he's adding a search fee for hairs.
