So I ended the last post with the news of sunburn. A bit of a buggerance, but nothing I haven't seen in the last umpty five years. I am fair skinned. That is an understatement, A milk bottle has more colour than me!! Seriously, you can actually see the veins in my wrists and on my chest, its freaky...
I like being pale and mysterious, the sun and I have a hate hate relationship. I hate it because its hot, bright and gives me hives and headaches, it hates me and will deliberately seek me out and shine on me....(in my miiiiind)
Yeah, I don't much like the sun, closet goth, hello!
Where was I? Ah, sunburn. So I got burnt Sunday (Ironic much) and commenced with the slathering of lotions and potions. trying to stop my poor, reddened skin from turning into crusty nastiness. Its happened before, it wasn't nice.. Was doing very well, Monday came and went, the redness had all but died down, and I had silky smooth bits of skin.
Tuesday...Oh Tuesday, why?? I needed to go to the shops, baking hot weather. Out came the factor 50, wasn't taking any chances this time! Off I trotted to the shops, a 10 minute walk at my speed. Did my bimbling around the shops, and walked back.
The fun begins....
Gets in the house, fumbling up the stairs, as my reactions lenses had not adapted yet, nearly kicked the cat as usual, dumped the bag, and floomped into the chair. So far so good. As the glasses cleared, I happened to catch a look at my arm out of the corner of my eye...."No, seriously, NO!" Yup, was burnt.....AGAIN.... This is on top of the other burn, slathered in factor 50, affectionately termed "Gordie white bastard" around these here parts.
I am now shedding like a snake, its not pretty.
On the plus side, I have got some decent sized pieces to have a good look at in my microscope :)
I have decided I must be a vampire. Sleeps during the day, can;t sleep at night, burns in sunlight.
At least I don't sparkle.......
