from sunny Spain and has a tan which she is pleased to read is now considered healthy and we should all be outside in the sun, unprotected, i.e. no high factor creams, for 30 minutes a day, otherwise we run the risk of developing an Osteoporosis related illness as per Gwyneth Paltrow. I am not sure whether they mean 30 minutes in our English sun i.e. half hidden by a cloud, or the searing sun of the south of Spain!! Anyway I took the high factor cream route and am a golden colour which will last until about Thursday even though it took a lot of concentrated effort to achieve over a 7 day period!
So what’s been going on ladies………..Grace is off to the sun and Ellie is checking out old boyfriends on Facebook. I can’t find any of mine as they are far too old and most can’t work a computer least of all the idiosyncrasies of Facebook. However I did meet one at Youngest Son’s school as he is the father of boy in year below and when he saw me he went the colour of a beetroot and shot off. Why would that be I ask? Is his wife ugly? Is his son a Geek? Did we split up on bad terms? If he knows the answer to the last one then he has a better memory than me!! So should I avoid him for the next 3 years or be nonchalant if I run into any member of his family. Perhaps introduce myself to his wife and try to charm her? No chance of the latter as I am far too mischievous which reminds me of an incident in Spain. We were on a boat in an idyllic bay with a couple of other boats when a rib came in with a boatload of naked people. It was hilariously funny as they sat on the side of the rib so all we could see was naked buttocks which was what attracted our attention. At great risk to myself, in case there is such a thing as Sea Rage, I took this picture as it sort of illustrates that there may be an age when you just say “I don’t give a damn and therefore you take me as I am” and in this case droopy boobs, saggy tum and all. Personally I think that this look is for the young only and as we get older we should cover up but then maybe they had read the same article as me and were getting their 30 minutes of sun with no protection!!
