Re: Sunburn - a word of warning
Update on the MIL - back from hospital today and had the second skin removed - OUCH !! 
We're now applying large quantities of cream and her back looks like a rasher of bacon.
Another plus - she's too sore to go out so at least we now have a babysitter so Mrs Haggis and I will be off to St Kilda tonight !

SB, Why didn't you explain this instead of just saying it wasn't right, you knew right?

We took her to the hospital and it was one of the worst sunburn cases they had seen, she had to be passed to the Burns Unit and they have applied a "second skin" to her back that will have to be removed this Saturday. She is still in pain and cannot sit back or sleep properly.
We've learnt a valuable lesson. Even on a very cloudy day you can get badly burned in just 45 mins, and Aloa Vera/Aftersun is only useful on mild burns.
On the plus side at least I now have good reason to poke fun at the mother in law. Seeing her wrapped up in bandages I did mention the film The Mummy Returns.

Moral of the story: check the UV Index before going out for the day.
