to the hairdresser

It was very cold today.
I wore warm clothing for winter.

I went to my hairdresser this morning.
I had my hair cut and tinted dark brown.

I usually go to my hairdresser once a month.

But this time a little bit earlier than usual,
because I am going on a trip of three nights
and four days to 伊勢神宮・熊野古道・高野山.

I'll start out on the trip on October 23.

By the way, my hairdresser’s daughter got
the 4th place---

in the Floor Exercise Final on Day Seven
of the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships
Belgium 2013 held in Antwerp, Belgium---

世界体操２０１３ベルギー大会.

Her name is Mai Murakami.

I’ve known her since she was a little girl.
She is now a cute 17-year-old high school girl.

She played the heroine in the TV drama 「ウメ子」
when she was 8 or 9 years old.

Congratulations, Mai-chan!
You made it!

I know you wanted to get the Gold medal
but I can't but admire you, Mai-chan.
