Theme today,
Frigid Friday...Holy...(what follows is a bit lengthy and obviously the experience of a menthol wuss).
God damn, what in the hell was that! I've struggled with what I considered to be an extreme cold before (B&M Terror) so this may be a mistake, I bought this for the games out of morbid curiosity. Opened the tub to be greeted by this
awful sight.
The initial contact with the face was fine, but the damn thing kept building. I thought I'd managed to get it in my eyes until I realised it was just the fumes. Never before have I had self-hydrating lather, tears were streaming down my face. I couldn't whip that blade around my face fast enough, never mind that I had to go for another two rounds.
I had the splash and balm taunting me as I splashed my face with cold water, well that was a serious mistake! Tentatively reach for the splash, whack it on the face and it's another eye watering moment, that stuff couldn't soak in fast enough...do I bother with the balm, sod it may as well...dear lord why would anyone make this stuff. Now one thing I did cotton onto after using Terror, make sure you wash your hands afterwards, and I mean wash them. I made a grievous error last time that had me wishing I hadn't gone for a pee, not this time my friend! I sit here 10 minutes later and the stuff is still going nuts and my eyes are still watering. I now can't feel my face and I dare not touch it for fear of transfer. What sadist asked for this level of insanity!
It's a miserable day here, so without the warmth there is little benefit and more pain. Perhaps I'll leave it till I head down to SA this Christmas, or perhaps I'll palm it off on the father in-law when I'm down there and piss myself laughing!
Additional challenge - Stacking Day
Quickest photo I've ever taken, this was the gift from the Mrs for my 40th, don't think I've moved so quickly in my life!
For the photo treasure hunt, this one was hobbies, love a bit of ice skating and fit fairly nicely with the daily theme.
Happy Friday all!
Cheers
Marc
