  1. So. Who else got sunburnt yesterday. Sigh. I even had a tube
    of factor 30 in my jersey pocket. D'oh!

    I went out later in the day as I was in bed after working
    Saturday night. Did about 30 miles on the road bike in the
    late afternoon. All those long winter nights grinding
    against head winds have all paid off and I can, ahem,
    admire myself in shop windows now and again. Oh come on -
    there's no harm in it, it's only like a woman trying on a
    dress in a shop!

    Yep, though not while cycling. Instead I was scything a
    field of nettles and didn't notice that I'd sweated or
    rubbed the sunblock off the back of my neck until it was too
    late. I now look like an extra from the Dukes of Hazzard
    (dungarees excepted). Bah.

    Not me. The only place I burn is on my nose, which I douse
    in factor 30.

    I must look the part or the prat as I originally typed, as
    I went into Boots the Chemist today and the woman behind
    the counter asked if I was in "the race" yesterday. Wahoo!

    Ahhh...

    The joy of being Italian, from the South, and naturally rich
    in melanine

    The last time I got sunburnt was 3 years ago - but I spent a
    day climbing on the Alps without a T-shirt...

    Whilst playing frisbee in the park. I've got all these
    interesting shapes on my legs where I didn't slap enough on.
    They look like they've been tie- dyed!

    Fortunately I don't burn easily, but I suffered mild
    sunstroke after spending 6 hours working in the garden on
    Saturday. I foolishly didn't even think about protection, I
    just thought "It's a nice day, I can get on with some of
    those jobs that need doing".

    I then spent most of Saturday night unable to sleep, and
    most of Sunday laying around trying to rehydrate :-(

    Low to mid 20's and everyone's getting burnt! I dread
    to think what everyone's going to be like when (if) it
    gets warm!
