robyn had bought the tickets at the suggestion of some of her co-workers, some of whom then decided that they did not really want to go (don't you hate that!). the show was sold out and there was a guy there wanting a ticket and as she had one spare, she was happy to sell it to him (no scalping - he paid her what she had paid for it.) at least, that was the assumption. the buyer had a $50 note and because robyn did not have a $10 note to give him change, there was a bit of legerdemain where money was borrowed from one of the workmates who did attend. the workmate only had $20 so the buyer handed over another $10 note to make it $60 and took the $20 in change. i stayed well out of this exchange until i realised that at no point did i see the original $50 land in robyn's hand. i found my voice and pointed this out to her - she checked her wallet and bag and there was no $50 to be found. she chased off after the buyer who at first seemed to feel that he had handed over the money. he eventually agreed that he did indeed still have it and handed it over with good grace. i'm very glad i opened my mouth at the right time and believe me, so was robyn!

p.s. i forgot to mention that i've been trying to grow old gracefully (at last) and was going to let my hair grow out to it's natural colour; something i have little memory of - i've been dying it for tooooo long. it has been 3 months since i last put a colour through and the regrowth is a scary mixture of silver (the major percentage) and dull brown with darker ends from all the years of colour upon colour. what happened to the lovely dark brown hair i used to have??? i had no choice but to go back to growing old disgracefully. i put a napro live 'chocolate' in this morning - not a permanent colour - it will last for 8 washes, which mean 8 days. it might have to be the way to go until i can grow all the permanent colours out and see just how old and grey i've become... don't worry, i will continue to behave like i'm 16.
