HEAD! (And other ablutatories)

jackIt's getting cold[1]. I had a (hot) bath for the first time for ages, which was lovely and relaxing. And I have to start thinking about making sure I'm wearing enough when I go out.
I have lime shower gel. This is very nice, but makes me feel like Ralph Wiggum, because it looks and smells and feels like it should be eaten :) I deliberately didn't get the yellow[2] one because that would be an order of magnitude worse. I have shampoo too, but is put away for a few weeks because:
I shaved my head again. I had let the hair grow a bit long (though not in absolute terms) before shaving it back again. Reactions seem to be:
* "Oh my God, it's all gone!" I think mainly a slightly more extreme version of the "We both know you cut your hair, and we both know we both know, but I can't not comment" reaction we're all subject to.
* "You nicked yourself." Oops.
* "Let me stroke it." Hmmm. Right.
* "Your hair is still short!" Oh yes, we haven't met for three months, we should have stayed in touch...
* Not recognising me. Though when stunned from a fresher's fair, I'm impressed anyone recognises anyone at all.
Other random non-toilette-related news: I left my shinybike a bit too long outside kelsey kerridge and a security guard said he saw a couple of dodgy looking guys scoping it out. Oops, I hadn't adjusted to having shinyness.

A: It's cold outside.
All, in chorus from all over the house: There's no kind of atmosphere.
[2] Lemon. Sometimes colours are a quicker reference point than smells :)

I mean, ok, as a joke, and don't *do* anything unless I actually say, yes. Friends are ok, with people I like it is actally very nice, though please don't just come up behind me unless you know well enough to know it's ok. But even people you like at work need some distance because you're stuck together. Especially if you're someone who doesn't like being touched by strangers anyway.
