I didn't realise that we're extra susceptible to sunburn until this weekend - I even burnt on my hands which surprised me. I am quite an outdoor sort of person and used to go running whatever the weather so for me to get sunburn made me realise that it must be yet another thing to blame these hormones for! Ah well, at least I'll know to smother myself in suncream before being outside next time.

Am glad the suns here so much.
