Going grey

I'm a little worried about these grey hairs. Up to now they've been rashly persuaded into a different color by the likes of peroxide, ammonia & co. Certainly, these short views were themselves alarming (hence the rapid intervention), but the brevity (of the view and the hair) kept hysteria at bay, or perhaps gave a feeling of control. Now, though, I am forced to watch them grow millimeter by millimeter as they seem to inspire the growth of further hairs of similar hue, a party of like-minded age barometers toasting my 40 years.

Then again, these new hairs are not mousy blond, so that is something to celebrate. I suppose we will have to wait and see what the future brings.
