This morning at 0630 it was so cold that my teeth started to hurt. My chest felt like it was about
to implode and the only way I could stop my lips from freezing together was by pretending to be a
horse making that noise that horses do when they blow air out of a relaxed orbicularis oris muscle
(if horses have such a muscle).

Were you wearing a scarf?

I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

To bring your orbicularis oculi into action...

Did your eyebrows or other hairy bits freeze? I remember when my eyebrows froze...

[stuff about being cold]

No, cos I find that anything covering my mouth and nose tends to divert water vapour upwards which
then condenses on my glasses.

Can we have less talk about my hairy bits please? I've never had my eyebrows freeze but I did once
arrive at work (when I worked for the Body Shop) unable to speak because my mouth was so cold.

Love and minus 99 degC from Rich x

Heh! ISTR the cold winter of 1978-9 arriving at school with icicles growing from the eyebrows.
Several times that winter, a village on my route was reported as the coldest place in the UK.

When Judy Leden set the hangliding altitude record (38,900ft!) her eyelids unexpectedly froze closed
in the first few seconds of her release from the balloon. Since from that altitude it involved a
steep dive to get speed and lift and they didn't unfreeze for some long time into a two hour flight
it was apparently a rather scary experience. She had to fly into the sun to navigate and try and
warm them up and unfreeze them!

Finally, someone takes a stand against Humbug. Three cheers for Austrian shop workers!
