I was reading my Diana Athill. She writes amusingly about an older woman who would insist on wearing scarlet lipstick, which got all over her front teeth and spread to the deep furrows on the outside of her lips, giving her a look of a vampire torn away from it's prey mid-meal.
Nibby also made me laugh. She had been frantically whistling for a lost dog: 'I whistled for hours and it was so bad the lines around my mouth became really deep, so my mouth looked like a bottom'.
Touch wood my 'around the mouth' lines aren't too bad yet, but I do have to watch the lipstick a bit.
p.s. Nibby would never say 'anus'.
