Some thunder and lightning here, and a bit of rain, but not as much as I thought. Sitting here looking quite pink as we were on the beach at Raby Bay this morn, caught the best of the day. 
Memo to self: Use some bloody sunscreen and stop thinking the sun is like in England!!

Re: OK, who ordered the storm?
Went to work like a beetroot after the lagoon, don't think I could have faced beach today.... ... factor 30 seems to be the thing. We didn't get to bed till 2.30am and got up at 6am so tried to watch a movie this morning that I got for xmas and fell asleep after 10 mins. Had to rewatch it on the afternoon.
Went for the chilled around the house option with few glasses of wine but now rehydrating as with the storm over it is hot again.

Can I be the boring prat for a second and say that its the angle of the sun, and the amount of atmosphere and ozone above Oz thats radically different, giving much more radiation. Therefore english (excuse me British) people get a hell of a shock when they burn in 15 minutes here.
Yes, the humour bypass worked

I always use factor 30+ but on this particular day was going to work later and led astray by another expat so in the get ready rush forgot the cream, but enjoyed the day.
I'm the one who nags hubby and son re the sun.
