HOT!
I can't believe how hot it is out there today.
And it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow!
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the office but to be honest, even if I wasn't, I think I'd be sitting in the shade today. I've just been out for a quick walk to pick up some paperwork and it's so hot that even during the 2 minutes it took me to walk between buildings I felt my skin burning. Who would have thought it - here in Scotland!!
You see so many people stripping off in this sort of weather - and you can't blame them. It's so novel to get such beautiful sunshine that people automatically think 'SUN TAN!' and it's short sleeves, vests and shorts ahoy! But I think the risk of sun burn just isn't worth it. I've been burnt quite a few times in my life and it's a painful experience.
I'd rather slap on the sun cream, wear a hat and sit in the shade these days. I'd rather be tanless than have skin cancer!
Pollution, global warming and the reduction in our ozone layer means that the damage the sun does to our skin is much, much worse than it used to be. And if human beings continue to abuse Mother Earth the way we are then it can only get worse. Perhaps we won't see it in our lifetime but the day will come where human beings won't be able to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine because it'll be so dangerous and damaging.
Sad, but true.
