Cold (Dog) Nose



When I was 14/15 years old boys teased me I have a nose like a German shepherd dog (amongst other insults), meaning how it looks like.

Pic from my parent´s silver wedding, my late Grandma beside me, next one of her daughters, all got noses... too big for my liking ;-)
Do you see that? Huge, no? "Zinken" is the German word.
Dad´s side is the same! At least we got told.
My Dad was German, no pics but from him and his sister as kids survived - Zinken.

I really have no idea whom Bro and I got our noses from?

Anyhows... I just wiped my nose with the back of my hand cause... it´s cold in here - and said nose is cold like a... dog´s nose (not wet, in case you wonder, just cold!).
The rest of my face is warm, is that normal?
20C inside! All good, actually!
My hands, though, brrr.
Feet? Don´t ask, brrr. And yes, wearing socks Ingo´s late Grandma knitted for me, too!

Soon.
Soon I´ll complain about the heat!

But my nose will always look like a dog´s nose. Just in red soon, and warm.

Aw. You gotta have to be able to laugh about yourself, no?

And look forward - better red of heat, my nose, than cold of this.
Minus 2C right now. I don´t like it.
Perth soon - I will be glad for the cabin we booked. It has aircon. Brrr.

P.S.! My Mum forced me to go to her hairdresser to get my hair done like that, I hated it! Felt like a doll!
But what do you do for your Mum´s big day, huh?

I actually think you look good with your hair done up! Don't think your nose is that big...

You are going to need that air conditioner Iris, Feb is going to be hot hot, hot :) but it'll be fun right :)

No, my nose is rather too small, actually. A good thing considering nose and ears grow all life!
We have an air conditioner, thankfully :-) Yes, it will be fun!
