All of you got quite sunburned during your biking journey this day. I hope it looks worse than it is; or some of you were going to be in a great deal of discomfort. Ever since my late teens, if I'm in the sun more than 30 minutes, I usually end up in the hospital's emergency room. I've even gotten blistered sitting in the shade with a tea shirt on for 30 minutes. Once again, I ended up in the emergency room; and in bed for a week. I also got a heat stroke from that experience. It doesn't make any difference how much suntan lotion, etc., I apply, I still end up being in agony for several days. I have to dress like a lil ole grey-haired lady that I am--bonnet, long-sleeve dress that goes to my ankles, etc. I definitely look like a comic valentine--but I don't get blistered any more. Please take gentle care of yourself, my dearest Manfred! Luv ya bunches! Sweet Caroline
Movement in the sunshine is joy of life for me. If I could not be in the sun, this would be a significant loss of my quality of life. My skin gets brown fast and then is relatively insensible against sunburn.
