Pink Lady

That wondrous yellow star in the earth sky…..that just so happens to blind you if you look too long at it or burn your skin. Okay maybe sol (scientific name) isn’t too wondrous after all.

Sunburn? It’s very ouchy isn’t it? If you say no, you’re either lying or one of the very lucky b*****ds (aka lying) who have had the joy of not resembling a lobster. You see reader, every year without fail I always get sunburnt. You’d think I’d have learnt my lesson by now but nooo not me!

One year I had badly burnt feet (I was being a stroppy teenager), they turned purple. Grade 3 burns if I remember, or at least to my teenage brain that’s what the doctor said, and yes whenever I’m out I always put sun stuff on exposed feet. At least I learnt from sunburn lesson there.

Why is it that when you get sunburnt, the blasted burn still keeps burns for a good couple of days no matter how cold you keep the burnt area. Some of you maybe lucky and can treat your burnt bits (behave) with after sun. Turns out I’m allergic to the stuff, no matter what brand I try. Always have to soak the areas constantly in cold water then when the heat finally goes use aloe Vera and moisturiser, desperately hoping I don’t peel (I always peel).

One day I won’t get burnt and become a pink lady….nah who am I kidding, it’s becoming part of a kinda tradition.
