I Woke up this morning and - completely forgetting I was burnt from yesterday -jumped in a hot shower and screamed like a little girl.
I'd been out playing golf again. I'm sure Nev will laugh but I scored 144 (I was doing much better until we stopped for lunch and had a beer). The problem with playing golf out here, as previously noted, is that you have to get up ridiculously early. At least I planned for it this time. I had an early night on Friday, got up at 5am, got ready and went outside to wait on my lift. I forgot only two key items.
1) My hat.
2) My sunblock.
One of the guys I played with had some factor 8 with him, but we all know that my pasty blue complexion would never survive 4-5 hours in the searing hot sun with just factor 8. I need at LEAST factor 30.
About half way through the back nine, I began to feel it. Which is bad, you usually get burnt before you notice so if I was feeling it I was in for a painful one. My only rescue was the hand towel I'd lifted from the gents. I wrapped it round my head and would have knotted the corners if it was big enough. As it was I had to stuff the corners under the rim of my shades. As you can imagine I must have looked pretty stupid.
The final straw was when I got inside. I took of my shades and Lo, I had raccoon eyes. Great. Lets hope I peel enough for work in Tuesday (Monday is a holiday).
ps, I'm off to the Tokyo Games Show. Expect pictures of cute scantily clad girls trying to sell their wares (lit. games).
