Passing time while isolating

Hi all you locked down dread folk..hanging onto this crazy olde rock spinning in space,  hope the current Coronavirus pandemic isn't affecting anyone too badly.  

I'm still working (essential delivery driver) but getting more done on days off.  Uk is currently having a dry spell so I've been 

enjoying my garden and preparing to plant Veg and some flowers with the help of my trusty hound.

Anyone got any positive thoughts on covid19?

- world pollution has decreased

- people are uniting to help the sick and elderly

- hopefully the human race, (especially  the world leaders) will learn something valuable from it.

@Soaringeagle - hope your "grow your own" food scheme is working out, please feel free to pass on any growing tips..

Stay safe everyone,.

@tashtash I am Gingerish with hints of grey'/white. Enforced DIY while under isolation seem like the only way I will get my house straight...dog walking and gardening seem to take priority (hope to grow more veg this year - you can't eat a tidy house).

Panic buying has hit us too, not a loo roll in the County; my dog is fed for the next month (although he prefers my food)  

Levellers put on a lively show, a bit of moshing often occurs (good stress relief) 

Like your up-do by the way - I can just about tie my mess up using to little dreadies .    

To all you lovely dreadies, stay safe throughout the Coronavirus madness, it wont last forever.

@tashtash   Nice idea, for rubbish assistants,  sadly wont be feasible for a while thanks to Coronavirus.  Guess if I do have to self isolate it will give me something to do..

The beaches are still open and found a whole bag-full of plastic in about 1/2 an hour today; strange how the size and type of plastic varies, guess partly due to wind direction and where the crap is coming from - lots of pieces of plastic bottles today and one of those junior lego blogs , I'm pondering somekind of multicoloured dreadlocked person as a picture. (Don't expect anything too soon- we do things Dreckly in Cornwall).

Back at the dreads....  Have you or any other readers seen a band called the "Levellers"?  kind of Folk/Punk  Saw them recently and their Bass player (Jeremy) has an awesome set of Red dreads down his back; he does a grand job of flailing his band mates with them during lively numbers.

 By the way, like your Updo, and you can have some of my ginger if you like..

@tashtash   think sleeping side ones are a bit thicker; also the same side gets tangled in my seat belt so guess i need 

a. a left hand drive car or  B. a chauffeur.

i find it funny  that some people have noticed and comment whereas others kind of try and stare without being noticed.

on the plastic, I need to get an assistant to help sort all the pieces, it could become an obsession.

@tashtash   Hmm almonds eh?  I'm not a huge fan, but will have to look into that, especially as one side is shrinking faster than tother.

Thanks for inspiration to carry on collaging, hope to get my daughters help as shes definitely more artistic than me.  I've heard there are some

"hotspot" areas where lego bricks are still washing up, that fell off a shipping container a good few years ago. 

My olde toothbrushes end up for cleaning too, it got me pondering some kind of arty think using olde toothbrushes  - any ideas anyone?

@tashtash

Wow!  your dreads have really formed nicely..   amazed at the length  (mine are taking their time and shrinking too). 

Good to see you back, seem to remember you talking about litter picking.... I take my dog on the beach(es) and have been picking up plastic for 

too long, mainly to help the environment and I have the intention of making some king of collage/picture from the pieces.

Will try and get my daughter to take some fresh pics to update soonish

Finally formally introducing myself..

Introduce Yourself

@jessierose  Welcome from across the big pond, I've been brushless for almost 2 years and still have a long way to getting full dreads; yours are shaping up nicely and think you'll be amazed at the shrinkage.  

Enjoy the ride..

@peaceful-passer  thanks, May give the charcoal a go next time I order from Vicki (import restrictions, taxes and customs  etc permitting).

I work outdoors and end up pretty windswept at times, sometimes it feels like it blows some dreads in while blowing others out....

I have some of Vicki's s Lock magic Gel  I should try using i guess, just a bit reluctant to put any extra Gunk on my hair...

@peaceful-passer..  thanks for info... I'll stick with "scratch attack for now"  and try some thing else for Dan of druff.  Mine are a mix of sizes too, one  big congo was my first born (Derek) and he's a bad influence on stray hairs and babydreads trying to consume them.. I have considered thinning or trimming him but hes got character and deserves a chance so he stays for now.  

I find it frustrating that washing seems to wash out nicely forming dreads sometimes, I need to see my daughter soon for help separating and getting some photos to post..

Vicki no longer shipping to the UK :(

@femalepheromones Get what u mean about sporadic posting.  Think I will leave my dreadballs alone for now. One side of my hair is dreading faster than tother, and the slower side seems to have much thinner dreads, hoping they will catch-up eventually.

If u want to try ordering Vickis (Dreadlocksite shampoo) direct her email is vickimlr@gmail.com..hope she can help you out. 

Will try and get some Pics done soon too
