Because I am essentially a spineless cowardy-custard, I have, as yet, failed to take action against the fouler or foulers of my doorstep. I admit to having rather wicked fantasies involving apero invitations and filo pastry nibbles, piped with a mystery truffley filling...would anyone like to lend me the use of their oven?
I'm knackered....so I'm just going to ramble. Feel free to bugger off now, if you've got some sardines grilling or some paint drying somewhere..
It's the easter holidays. I'm not religious...I'm ashamed to say, it just spells 'Kinder' to me. Two exhausting weeks of childcare, cut in half by one mad weekend packed with enough chocolate to bring us all out in hives...no money, so no activities...well not of the 'real' kind according to Sprog. A 'real' activity would be something like a couple of days at Playmobil land, or whatever it's called....or a spell at Futuroscopic....or whatever the fuck that's called....you can tell I'm really interested in these places...or paintballing confused old-timers... or a day's Karting...now I wouldn't mind doing that, if we could afford it. But I'm not sure Sprog meets the height requirements anyway...so we have to content ourselves with 'crap'ie. 'free' activities like going on nature walks, bike rides, tree climbing, painting, sheep monitoring, bird song workshops,Dad baiting...oh it's so dull to be a six year old country mouse...if only he had a Nintendo DS, life would be worth living...well it would be for me, at least. I might get something done.
We went visiting pals this afternoon. I was sitting outside in the sun for too long and am now a rather fetching puce colour.I have been trying to find a high protection facial sunblock that doesn't make me look like Marcel Marceau - but I don't know if one exists. Urgent action needs to be taken to arrest the demise of my poor complexion. Any suggestions welcomed.

You are still dreaming up revenge are you? I would be too - I just know it. There's a place down the block that creates no end of annoyance. I'd love to leave a little present on their porch any day.
Alas - coward am I too.
On the skin front. I have no suggestions. The Man lathers himself with SPF45 and looks like a fish's belly. But that's his normal skin colour so what do I know. After prolonged sun exposure he does break out in freckles. Rather fetching I think if you can see them through the red skin.
Me? I turn that lovely shade of dark brown with reddish undertones. I hardly ever use sunscreen but my wrinkles are beginning to get on my nerves. I'm thinking I better have a good look this year.
One lady recommended a moisturizing cream with a bit of colour to it. I do put that on every day and it does give my face a very slightly tanned look. At least I don't look like a fish or worse yet - dead. Only half-dead from lack of sleep.
Good luck Mya.
We have something called After Sun over here to soothe burnt skin. You slap it on and it cools you down.
Putting on suncream now is almost like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted!
I do have a laugh when I visit your blog. Its the way you write! Witty & down to earth! Like it.
yeah, what IS that thing called Futuoscope ? lucky for me we're too poor to go or Im sure my Will To Live would be sucked out thru my wallet.
funny how your idea of leisure time changes w kids
School hols - what joy!! How about a fetching hat to avoid sunburn - this from one who also sat in the sun too long yesterday but I am lucky to have a complexion that doesn't burn easily.
Skin protection: How about trying that biological by-product you have a surplus of?
Activities: Be careful with the sheep monitoring. That's a euphemism for criminal activities in some parts.
Money: Ah fuck it. Get the sprog to spend a day with some friends, have a luxurious bath and then give your old bloke the shag of his life.
Win, win win!
Ah you bring back the joys of motherhood so clearly :-)
Have you anyone coming over from the UK? There is a brilliant product - in my opinion, called P20. It's not cheap at around £21 a bottle but it's and anti-burn lotion. One application lasts all day. You still need sunscreen for the anti-cancer bit but it stops me burning and I was a 'carrot top' in my youth so go bright red in the smallest amount of sun. Sadly you can't buy it here.
Have you an aloe vera plant, the gel/juice from that is wonderfully soothing on burns and helps the skin heal again. I use it mainly on my oven burns and again it's fantastic.
Good luck with the holidays and just keep telling yourself that the new term will be here, maybe not as soon as you'd like but well before sprog will want - you can always take joy from that.

My kids break up this Friday for two weeks and I'm in the same boat concerning activities. Luckily, they both like reading and we have plenty of books. Other fun activities: annoy the cat by hiding its food (cat always wins these games with her whining that drives me mad); count blades of grass on front lawn; paint each individual blade of grass fun colours etc etc . . . oh gawd bless computers and DVDs and books.
Nivea sun face visage thing-y. Factor 45 I think. Or Clinique if you're feeling flush (with the readies, that is, not from the sun tee-hee).
Cripes the word verification is "sestool". Sounds like a skin complaint on the intimate parts.
No thanks, no truffle for me... And on the sunscreen thing, this one works for my boys and didn't seem to be too thick (though perhaps it was a little paler initially, and they have incredibly sensitive skin. So why not try it for adults? http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/no-scent-childrens-sun-lotion-spf25-150ml.aspx
Ohhh now I need to read back. Has someone been shi*ing on your doorstep? How rude.
And as for thre sunburn, erm, a balaclava?? x
Vaseline. I've heard that's good for sitting in the sun. or a floaty boater.
please do not ever buy a DS. it spells doom. even when you make them all save up for them for months on end, sooner or later they get one, they save up more for a single solitary game, that costs thirty quid, then they lose said game. then they borrow a game of their mates, and then they lose that game too.
I hate nintendo.

DS does not spell doom. It spells SD. Or DS. D. O. O. M. spells doom. Honest! :)
Aims,
I've taken to applying Sprog's 50 factor suncream - but not too heavily. It's not too bad, but as soon as I'm wedged-up (that's English for not skint) I'll invest in a proper skin preparation. Freckles are lovely!
Maggie,
Yes, the horse has well and truly bolted! Bugger!
Screamish,
I think it is some kind of educational but fun (bit of a contradiction there) science theme park. It sounds truly, terminally, deadly, dull as a dead donkey's duffel bag. I don't think I will ever go there, not alive anyway.
Softy,
I have got a nice straw hat - but I am beginning to feel a little self-conscious about wearing it as my husband says it makes me look like a mentalist.
Brennig,
My old bloke?Old?? Who do you think I'm married to?The pope?
Deborah,
Hello. Thankyou for your thoughtful comment, I appreciate it.The new term is now here, and a happy equilibrium has returned!
Dumdad,
Yes, I'm really keen for Sprog to catch the reading bug. He is interested and sees his parents doing quite a lot of it, so I'm hopeful.
Lis,
Hello stranger! Yeah, I like the sound of the Clinique - but my wallet doesn't.Perhaps I'll be able to persuade Spouse - I'll threaten him with being married to a wrinkled prune of a hag...but he'll probably say 'but I already am!'
Potsy,
Thanks for the cream suggestions - I'll take a look. Go on...have a truffle...!
Jo,
You won't believe this, but it is actually very true. I have always wanted a balaclava, but never had one.A pretty stripey one, not a SAS style one. Do you knit?
Pig,
I have no idea what a floaty boater is. Am I being terribly naive again?
