Thanks CE, it's nothing serious

But I do feel somewhat lethargic, so planting myself in front of the computer is an agreeable way to pass the time

Besides, I am adhering to the standard practice of resting so that it doesn't get worse

@Ysh: Hi! *hug* Is it cold in London? It's been baking hot here all week - I think the coldest day was 28C. The sun is devastating, I wonder how big the ozone hole over Greenland is this year...

It has been pouring rain for days

Our summer lasted for Saturday and Sunday last week

LOL!

We went away for the weekend and spent four hours in holiday traffic going 100 miles. With the sun roof open I tanned lovely...down one side!!

leaving a white line from the arm of my sunglasses across one cheekbone. I am scarred!!!

Although, unfortunately, a lot of Canadian beer is garbage, you have to buy the stuff produced by small breweries in order to get anything decent.

hauls in a keg.....well, you guys might be short. I don't like to take chances.

How is everyone?

Ysh, can we see your tan

LOL!!

See the powers of SYM!! we move from discussing diction to beer and in walks BS!

@BS - it looks a sight!

I didn't realise how hot it was (having air conditioning) but I do tend to catch the sun easy. If I had known I would have ditched the shades!

What can I say? I'm gifted.

Don't worry too much about the tan thing, I am just getting over a bad case of sunburn myself. I actually didn't know I had it till the hot water in the shower hit....oh the horror.

Heh, profylatic resting is always good, isn't it

I also feel lethargic, especially in the brain

I am however not bad at all, it's just my common "must write more for the meeting with my supervisor tomorrow" - syndrome. I've been out in the sunshine a lot, socialising with friends, watching football and all those other nice things in life that makes my brain go soft!

You look like my hubby then, he is also tanned on one side because we sat at a street cafe several hours yesterday without changing places. I don't think it looks bad though, it just looks...interesting

@BS: Hello BS, so haven't entirely left us yet?

I'm fine, thanks, just having the usual problems with my articles and the lovely weather here does nothing to enhance my productivity

Interesting is not the word I would have used last Saturday night! Freaky more like!! I just couldn't cover this white stripe! yet the tanning blended nicely and was not too obvious otherwise!

Well, if it is obvious you have been in the sun, you could be in trouble with your supervisor....Mine never fails to comment if I am tanned or sun flushed....

LOL!! See the powers of SYM!! we move from discussing diction to beer and in walks BS!

Now there's a shock! How will he survive the mountains without copious amounts of liquid refreshment?

Oh, Hi BS !

Still here til tommorrow morning CE, ain't you just lucky people?

And if it would help motivate you, I could try to ship some of this rain over your way. The weather here has been hot and wet, a strangely uncomfortable combination.

I'm sure it's just sexy

When I'm at high altitude and use my really stylish mountaineering sun glasses with leather flaps to protect from sun from the sides, I always look like a racoon when I come home. It's however fairly easy to get rid of if you use a very high sunblock factor lotion on all the areas that are tanned, and leave the white areas uncovered. A couple of hours in the sun usually does it!

LOL, he does?

Mine will not, I'm sure, he would probably not notice if I turned green-and-pink striped...he only sees what I have written, or rather, what I haven't written...

Both you and Ysh could ship over some rain, esp Dottie would be happy

Maybe a Western wind will do the job. What are you going to do in the mountains, BS? Hike around, live in a tent, rent a cabin, sing before the camp fire in the evenings or no plans at all?

hmm, Or maybe it isnt

It's called planning ahead. Or a still

and hello to you too

I'm sure it's just sexy

Give me photos and I can lay all speculation to rest.

@CE, My supervisor has the irritating habit of linking what I haven't written with the tone of my skin. And unfortunately, I tend to tan very quickly.....I always considered this an advantage, but since I have been in grad school I am a bit unsure

This is one advantage with more....erm...herbally-based recreational activities, far easier to transport......

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 5:34 pm

@CE, a friend of mine has a small cabin a few miles out that he is letting me use. I figure I won't stay there most of the time, unless it really starts to rain badly, hence the reason I am trying to unload all my bad weather.

I just plan on hiking, getting in touch with my environment, just no TV, radio, nothing but me and the terrain.....oh, and the snakes.

But I promised not to bite them

All I am taking with me is my guitar and some food and drink.

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 5:36 pm

Oh, Dottie, you can have it, the rain is on it's way.

DW, I don't want to see of hear of herbal based recreation, this is SE Ky, and that would mean I was standing in someones field, which I DON'T want to be. They tend to get territorial.

Hehehe...

Have you tried wearing a hat with really large eh, what's it called in English? The part of the hat that is not directly on your head, the sides, that can be very broad on a sunhat or sombrero.

Or you should get yourself a djellabah, the kind of outfit desert people in the Arab world wear. It a long gown, usually in dark colour to keep the heat out, with a large hood you cover head and face with.

Ah, what an irritating supervisor, obviously a smart guy/gal

Luckily my supervisor is too much of the professor stereotype to note such things...I don't think he understands that people may actually choose to spend a day outside in the sun rather than working...he would probably just be confused if he noticed I was tanned

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Sun Jun 09, 2002 5:42 pm

@CE: Nah, I prefer staying inside and rant about it on SYM.

@BS: I certainly hope so, I wouldnt like to have my high regard of you tainted.
