It certainly is Ally!!

I've always felt a bit bad for Joe that he sort of shares a name with me. People may either think it's egotistical or unimaginative and I've heard people say that it's a shame for children named after someone because they need a name of their own. It was none of that though, Joe was the only name which suited him after over a week of trying many out.
However, I dont feel quite so bad now after he's just told me that his friend Jack's mother is called Jackie

It is sooo hot here - so why are so many tourists walking round with burnt shoulders, backs and chests??!!

Have they not heard of sun factor?!!

I'm in a chiringuito right now and right across from me is a man with a very, very burnt neck.

Harry burnt a little in Majorca, through copious amounts of Factor 50!! This is despite him NEVER burning before - I think it's exceptional this summer? Especially coming from ours, I am the palest this year that I've been in ages

Having said all that, some people are just eejits and let themselves burn rather than bother!

[saundra]

Phew it's like an oven here such a warm wind got all the towel dry tho
Bedding to do tomorrow and fight the duvet
Have to say ally my lot used factor 50 a ppl l the time and they all got sunburn grandaughter was bright red dispute wearing a large straw hat and her mum
And they are all dark haired
It's probably because we are just not used to the sun here
I'm very brown tho this year back garden Sun tan

Just to put the first of B's washing out now Saundra, it's getting late but so very warm and blowy I think it will dry before dark!

Talking of sunburn ^^ B's forehead is shocking, despite wearing factor 50 out at sea on that whale watch trip - she's already put a thick layer of E45 on to soften it a bit and now some aloe vera, but her skin's just sucked it up like a sponge!

[Kaz]

Yes, she's keeping up with the aloe, I gave her a big bottle of it

[tonicha]

When we moved, we pinched some babies off the big aole vera we had . three have taken really well, a couple aren't but a friend used to pinch bits off, as her daughter has a very badly burnt and withered arm, and that seemed to be the only thing that would help.
