Having learned my lesson in years past, I know that I can avoid a bad burn by spending frequent, brief periods in the sun. I am one who, typically, burns rather than tans. And after a terrible burn at the end of August (hooray for open-top kayaks!), I am trying to pace myself for the long summer ahead of me. I like the sun and sunny days, but I don't like the heat. And if I am already having these thoughts in April, I am not looking forward to August!
Anyway, I've tried to stay out of the sun for the last couple days because my nose was looking a little pink. So far, so good. I am getting lots of reading done, too, by lingering in my flat with the windows open. (I get a good cross-ventilation between the kitchen and my bedroom.) I'm hoping I can find some nice, airy shirts that will keep the sun off my skin without making me overheat. Until then, I'll drink lots of water and linger in the shade.
I'm not sure how long this weather will last. The rain we were supposed to get this weekend hasn't materialized. I know it was pouring rain in the SF area last week. It's nice to get those little breaks in the weather. Keeps plants green; keeps me pale.

Mom and I recently heard of this really SPFiffy cream you can put on the parts of your skin, most sensitive to sun, most worrycausing to you. It allows a peaceful coexistence with you, the sun, and outdoors; where you don't have dash from shadow to shadow, unless starking miscreant dogs.
If this miracle elixer is not available at Pirelli and Ragg's on Fleet Street, we can locate some and get it to you post haste.
... Love Dad
I know...but I don't like that chemical-barrier scent or sensation. blech! Every year I struggle with the pursuit of a sunblock that doesn't leaving me feeling gross.
