Free botox sessions

Winter arrived pretty late in Aarhus this year, but there was no mistaking its arrival. I don't say these words too often: it was cold (-8 degrees on average). However, as Billy Connolly famously said "there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing" made me realise that I could still go to work on my bike. I had no excuse - the bike lanes were cleared every morning, and if I wore the right clothes, I would be fine. The one thing I couldn't really prevent was my face freezing up every morning and every evening. When I arrived at the bike-parking area in work, I always hoped that I didn't meet anyone I knew, as I couldn't actually move my face. This situation would make it very difficult for any kind of  friendly-morning-greeting that might be expected. And then I realised: this is what it must feel like to get botox. So why exactly do people get botox injections? I suppose looking younger is an advantage, but then it eventually wears off after a while. To be honest, I would have swapped my face-freezing sessions for a fleece-lined balaclava in a flash - apart from the fact that it might connect me in some way to a) terrorism, or b) armed robbery. Still a possible thought for next year ;o). For now I don't have to worry any longer. The weather is remarkably spring-like and a steady +4.
