Today looks to be the last of the Scorcher's.
Might finally start getting something done soon.

Nivea sell a factor 50 kids waterproof sunblock that's pretty comfortable to wear.....just apply little and often.
Touch wood, but I haven't burnt despite the sunshine :cool:

Tell you though, there are folks walking around that look like burnt leather :yikes: not sure that's good for the skin, tbh.


I've been eyeing up a new hat.....I know I'm going to get laughed at over it, but it's tempting, really tempting.

If that wasn't out of stock it'd be in my 'basket' right now :D

That looks so eminently practical :D
Thank you for the link :)

<whimpers> Its rather horrible, isn't it?

Im putting on lots of suncream; I hate it but my mother had skin cancer and that was no joke at all. Three operations and it still flared up.

She didn't die from it but it might have kicked off elsewhere.

I had chickenpox when I was 21...pretty grim. Like Toddy I had spots everywhere even the soles of my feet and my tongue. My throat was so ulcerated I lived on lollies for a week.

(Im living on lollies now.)

Doesn't that look just brilliant ?

I have had a beautiful day :D We have had a cool wind :D :D :D and I've been sat beside an open window when I wasn't working in the garden.
Now it's pouring :D

I'm sorry it's happened at the weekend for folks who work all week, and the Commonwealth Games, but I am incredibly relieved.
I might actually manage a night's sleep tonight; I've been up since five.
