I gave Brian a haircut

So, I never thought this day would come.  I was a little nervous but Brian let his hair get long enough that almost any cut would make him happier.  So... I took to his 1990's beard trimmers... since we don't usually do hair cuts at home, and I cut the back.  Around the neck was much shorter than I had anticipated but with a little work... it was ok.  This was the part I was least worried about as people can't really see the back on a video conference call.  However, next up were the sides.  I managed ok.  From here I hit the part I was most nervous about... cutting the top and front with scissors.  I watched a few videos to give me some idea of what to do, and Brian was pretty good at telling me what normally happens.  So...away I went.  Two finger widths long near the front, and one finger long near the back.  Then... the hardest part... blending.  This took a little finessing and to be honest sometimes my scissors were cutting sideways to make the blend happen.  I also used the trimmers to blend some parts.
Okay, so it wasn't perfect, but honestly for my first ever effort with beard trimmers, we were both happy with the outcome.
Easton... well, for now he has decided to grow Covid-19 hair.
