I had several hours out on the bike yesteday in bright sunshine and in a short sleeved top. Following the ride and during the afternoon and early evening both my forearms became more and more red and this morning are a little sore. It isn't anything to get excited about but a definate warning for future hot days. It isn't something that has ever worried me before as I tended to tan rather than burn so I guess it's now time to start using sun block. I wonder if ageing has made me more susceptible to burning.

I've already got stripy legs and last night some friends told me my face is glowing. I reckon that's more to do with growing up near Sizewell.

I got burnt riding on Tuesday - doesn't usually happen to me either. I reckon it's because by this time of year I've usually built up gradual sun exposure without thinking about it by cycling every day, but there simply hasn't been enough sun this year.

My face and arms have started to darken noticeably already, not all due to being out on the bike though, me and the Mrs were at Compton Verney Saturday and I was walking round the house and grounds all afternoon in a short sleeved shirt.

The sun is pretty high in the sky but temperatures are cool enough and the landscape still wintery enough to fool us into thinking it's still early Spring.

(But not here in Dar es Salaam though....!)

I knew there was a bit of colour on my face the other day. The girlfriend was trying to make out it was just because I hadn't showered for a few days, the bitch.
