I spent the day in the garden.

Once or twice a year I shave off my beard; generally after I have absent-mindedly used my beard trimmer without its guard. Today I thought I would try removing the longer greyer bits of my eyebrows using the beard trimmer. And I forgot the guard. I entered the living room and announced that I had accidentally shaved off my eye-brows. I thought I might get some sympathy. With the benefit of hindsight, I can see this was foolish. It was some minutes before my loving family stopped laughing. I do hope my eyebrows grow back before I have to return to work.
