Bad Hair Day

The fact that it's almost summer time back home somehow makes the dark and exteme cold of the Antarctic winter feel all the more imposing. Still, there has to be something good to be said about temperatures further below zero than they'll ever get above it in Britain (global warming included). And this is it... in minus 40 and below all you have to do is go outside, dip your hair in a bucket of warm water, tip your head upside down, hold it there for 20 seconds, then stand up and hey presto, you've got a hairdo that would take a several tubs of wax and hours in front of the mirror to create back home. Hmmm. Maybe that's clutching at straws, but it was fun anyway.
