All over tan?

Well in my case, all over sunburn!

T'was far too hot in the greenhouse today so I stripped off (not a pretty sight!) and found a little section outside between the ferret pen and my grape vines which is not overlooked, been cooking most afternoon, I can get used to this "Naturist" lifestyle, only took me 56 years to find my calling?

 

Have the ferrets recovered yet?

 

NO! and I'm not expecting many eggs from the chickens either

 

- that bad was it?
Scrap my request for a piccie then Vince,

Damn, the sunburn is starting to hurt!

 

Hope it isn't too painful, but stripping off was a bit rash!!!

I used to burn when I sat in an office for most of the day, but for the last dozen years spent in the wind/rain/sun it hasn't bothered me.

 

Sorry to hear you are suffering Vince. We know better 'living in the sun' ... we never sit in it although we spend a lot of our time in it. Have done a bit of the 'naturist' (well, not quite as I like a certain part covered ... ) ... but that is still under the shade sails. We were 34.1c today, a bit lower than yesterday's 34.5c but still 29.1c now but thankfully the sun has gone down behind the house ... and trees ...

 

Oh Dear Vince,so sorry to hear about your all over sunburn/tan and hope the sheets are not to heavy on your delicate parts this evening

We went to our local country park which has a large lake in it and most people were dressed in sensible clothing {us included}apart from two ladies who came walking towards us wearing bikini's,although one of them had a small towel draped round her shoulders and they did wear sandals on their feet.I think they too were trying to get some of their parts tanned

 

"We heard it on the grapevine ... " (sing a long ... )

Teabags, my friend, teabags!

Get those (used) teabags and dab your burnt bits with them; cooling, refreshing and should take the heat from your skin burn (Cheaper than making a skin dressing from mashed cucumber )

 

I had better not get burned then, I use loose tea!!

Aw Vince...i hope you kept your socks on.....my dad's always said if you burn the tops of your feet it can be dangerous

 

Make a poultice

 

Always used Calamine lotion , when I burnt as a kid . Can you still buy it from the chemist?

 

Yes you can still buy it, good for cooling the skin down as I remember!!
