Did anyone notice...

...how totally dry the air was today? I used twice as much water as I usually would have on the ride
I took today and I noticed that my lips were drying out all the time.

And the funny thing is that my wife still put clothes in the tumble dryer!

1.6% relative humidity somewhere in the Highlands today 80% in Bristol

If we hung sheets outside, they'd make very good partition walls in a short time. Also, cold air
can't take on much water, so drying would take forever.

Relative humidity in Scotland 1.9% giving a dew point of -39C! (according to the weatherman on
telly, but I'd rather trust a second-hand car dealer ;-)

I had a lot of thinks about how cold it was, and maybe one or two about taking a water bottle.

According to the beeb on PM, the met office recorded the lowest humidity since records began
somewhere in Scotland (my memory is faulty here, they were precise). Something like 1.6% RH, but
again I could have misremembered. Drier than yer average desert.

Of course, *you* could have put them out on the line to dry - out in the nice *cold* for her. Me,
the tumble drier saves a lot of ironing problems

You can buy new ones for a tenner - but an iron costs 40+ quid (for a decent one).

The amount of times I need a white cotton interview shirt is so rare (and for an interview you
normally keep your jacket on, so only the front needs ironed that would be cheaper to replace
(and easier).
