Low ozone this weekend
Saw on the news tonight that we all have to be careful outside this weekend as the ozone over NZ could be the lowest since records began.

Thanks Sarah. I didn't see the news tonight and with hubby in the great outdoors at work all the time, this is useful to know.

I did. I can't believe it. I kept putting on the sunblock but still got some on my chest. It's not sore so not too bad but definitely quite red

Re: Low ozone this weekend
I didnt go out in it.... my 2 year old seemed under the weather and today its obvious that he has conjunctivitis in both eyes so he cant go to pre-school this morning. I had planned to go out riding whilst he was there but now I have to take him to the doctors instead.... oh well.... kids come first eh!
But the weather is simply gorgeous here..... getting all my washing done so it can hang out and dry then if littlun is up to it we'll go and feed horse some carrots and maybe pop down to the beach for a dig in the sand.

No low ozone here, but very warm for the end of September. We found that when we were in NZ during the summer, that Adie's Psoriasis cleared up due to low ozone down there. Good for some, bad for others!
