Short hair

I had so many split ends that I had to cut another 6-7 cm off my hair yesterday. I have no idea where they come from, I've never had problems with split ends before. And it's not like I've been using heat on my hair the last 15 or so years. I used to dye it, but not that often, I've used only a boar bristle brush for the last ten years and I don't wash it more often than every five days or so, with a mild eco-friendly, silicone-free shampoo. It used to be longer between, but since I started using conditioner I have to wash my hair much more often. And that's the funny thing, the split ends are coming now, the last month, when I'm using conditioner and henna+indigo as dyeing and use a comb for detangling instead of the brush. Somehow I think I was right before and wrong now.
Anyway, that means I've cut about 20 cm (8 inches) since christmas and now it's only bra-strap length. I might have cut it shorter if it wasn't for the event-season starting now. I need hair that can be put up.

And it looks so damn short now!! I miss my hair, but I hated looking at the ends.

I've lost my keys

And now nothing seems fun at all. It's my keys to work, to my home and to where my stepfather lives, as well as some old bike keys I don't have the bikes for anymore ;)
I have checked everywhere at work. Unfortunately I cant ask at the janitor's office or at our reception because both are closed for the afternoon.

Edited: Fortunately I found the head janitor in the corridor outside here and somebody had left them hanging on the door outside their office.

Lovely picture from c. 1300

This lovely picture is from a french manuscript from the late 13th - early 14th century. It contains several interesting features. One is the fabric "hair bag" worn by the bride. Hair nets with fabric under them can be seen in quite a few manuscripts (unless you assume that the women had bright green, blue or red hair back then ;)and white "hairbags" can be seen in the Maciejowski Bible (c. 1250) but I haven't seen a coloured bag without a net over it before.
The other interesting thing is the buttoned hood worn by the parent standing to the right. It either has a very short shoulder piece or is worn under the cloak, like the Bocksten Bog man wore his. In either case it's a good example of a buttoned hood around 1300. I am making hood for my murrey ensemble, since the inventory I'm using as inspiration had hoods in all the described outfits and a buttoned hood is so much easier to put on over vimple and veil. I am aware that headwear is one of the things that differ most between the sexes in the middle ages, but hoods were so frequently willed from men to women that there hardly can have been a difference in how they looked (before the 15th century).

Oh, and there's a cool man's sleeveless surcoat with a hood.
