Sun & Stupidity
Saturday. A lovely day to be outside in the fresh air and sunshine. We went to Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver and found a big shady tree to sit under and enjoy a picnic and some summer reading. I put some sun block on Chris' back for him and warned him to be careful because he's such a pasty white guy. I rarely burn because I have somewhat less pasty skin than he does and I usually stay in the shade. Usually is the key word here folks.
The water was pretty chilly and refreshing, and the shade a little on the cool side, so of course I spent a bit of time in the sun to warm up. Reading. Losing track of time. Twice I went for a cool dip and twice I warmed up in the lovely sunshine. Without sunblock on. Really, really dumb.
I had a shower when I got home and felt my shoulders were a bit prickly. I looked at my back in the mirror and WOWZA! I look like a person with red skin wearing a white bathing suit. My back is ridiculously burnt and I'm feeling pretty stupid. Aloe vera gel and I are friends right now. Bras on the other hand are not. So much for my Sunday run.
Chris is burnt wherever he didn't have sunblock on because he was in the sun a lot. And there are some lovely hand marks on his arms where I had put some sunblock for him when I was doing his back, with the understanding he was going to finish. He didn't finish. Haha.
Sigh; what a couple of dumb monkeys.
