The Gallery is the Coldest Place on Earth

The cold crept up into my bones,
or rather, every shiver of heat crept
out of them. Numb fingers numb toes
numb head, mind dulled into simple,
animal logic by the cold, driven to
mad frustration, grumpiness.
Trudged home bitter and almost
wept when I couldn't find my door keys.

And yet, it was nothing
two friends, a duvet and
Nigella Lawson couldn't fix.
