I decided to work in the garden today. Big mistake, it was 28 degrees Celsius but i did not realise how hot it was and how i was burning because the wind was blowing 47 something knots (or so my son was telling me - he has a habit of checking the weather, the wind, clouds anything to do with the weather). Never the less, I got toasted. My son told me earlier, "Jis Dad, Ur red". Yip, i can feel it.. Ouch!
His older sister (19) came home with a few goodies (one which was a thermometer which was part of a package of items she bought) - he begged, promised to pay her far more than it was worth, basically did everything for it, even promised to do the dishes for a week (dishes.. now that is unusual for a 14 year old boy!!). Eventually she settled for a fair price - she has a soft heart. Since then he has measured the temperature on me, even on his mom by sticking it under our arms.. - i am apparently 34 degrees Celsius (is it good, bad, i don't know..?). I think he has measured the temperature on the dogs, the pool water etc.
Anyway, tomorrow i will stay in doors and if it is hot enough to swim, i will wear a t-shirt - maybe he can check the water temperature for me just before i dive in?
Check out the article re "Chinese tanning lotion" (i wont be trying that).
