One of my favourite childhood TV commercials was the Smash ad featuring Martians falling about laughing as they watched earthlings peeling potatoes and boiling them to make mash. I've often imagined the Martians tittering as I spent back-breaking hours weeding a vegetable patch -"Why on earth are they pulling out all the green things, then putting other ones back in their place?"
It crossed my mind today, as I peered at my vanishing eyebrows in the mirror, how in my youth I'd spent a lot of time painfully plucking them. These days, although I'm not yet at that time of life when I might draw them in with a pencil, ironically, I'd quite like some of them to grow back!
