Sunshine!!

Yay, it's warm!

I'm just back from climbing with loriel_eris, which was awesome. She really improved over the last couple of weeks - she's got the idea of how to go about it now, and now that's it working, she's got the enthusiasm to go with it. She even did an overhang today!

I succeeded on my first 5+ route, which was also an overhang, so I'm really chuffed! My climbing's improving pretty fast as well. Of course, I know I'm going to plateau soon - that's the problem with being short!

Anyway, I am now sitting out in the garden (having trouble seeing the laptop screen, but I'm not going inside!) in the sun, wearing shorts and strappy t-shirt, exposing my poor paley-wally skin to some rays! I was looked at photos of me on my birthday (end of October) and I was so brown then! You don't realise how pale you are until the sun comes out - in grey cloudy weather everyone looks like they have a tan!

The Grand National is on today - I'm looking forward to seeing that and bawling over it (I get very emotional over horse races, especially the Grand National!).

I got paid today! Yay! Not a huge amount of money, but it's making my overdraft smaller, and I'll be getting more next week! Hurrah!

My PC video games that I ordered on Wednesday night arrived yesterday. I bought ER for about £5 inc p&p and CSI Miami for about £5 inc p&p. I was very happy to see them waiting for me yesterday!

Anyway, I'm going to snooze in the sun now, before it disappears behind a house. (That's the trouble with living in an estate - no long term sun exposure.)

Snoozing in the sun sounds heavenly!

It was great. I actually got a little red!!! Of course, today, I'm back to being pale, although I think I have got a little browner. I do have a lot more freckles - the first thing that happens to me when I go out in the sun is I get tonnes of little freckles all over! *g* They're my tan thermometer! *g*

My mother has freckles that multiply when she gets some sun. It's pretty cool. She hates the freckles though. *lol*

I hardly ever burn. I just suddenly go from pale to tan. XD

I like my freckles. It's not like they're really big, the ones that I get when I've been in the sun. Plus, I always have some freckles, so if I didn't like them, I'd be pretty miserable!

I very rarely burn as well (although for the first time out in the sun after the winter, I have to be careful with parts of the body that don't seen sun/weather all of the time). I've had one bad sunburn in my life.

I actually noticed today that I haven't lost all of my tan from last year - you can still see the tan line on my ankle from where I wore my anklet! *g*
