and now the top half, viv's new dreads. seeing as she's shaving all her hair off for charity in october, bea suggested she got her hair dreaded before hand. so here it is in its just been done, still kinda big, but will settle down in a few days stage.
the reason viv's getting her hair cut off is to support the charity tostan and if you would like to sponsor her, please email her at vivshavesherhead@yahoo.co.uk or come and tell her in person...

other news, i've bottled another 24 litres of beer. this time an american style steam beer - early tastings are pretty hopeful.
