Inflatable Me & the Instant Sunburn

Well I was under the general impression that all was well, health wise, until I appear to have suffered the most amazingly instant all over sunburn during a normal 30 minute walk home.

I was actually wearing plenty of clothing to keep the deadly cancer rays off (still don't fancy having any more bits cut off my back) so was remarkably annoyed at

Oh poor you, glad things are looking up. You don't think it might have been a sunburn and prickly heat combo?

I believe you may be spot on (excuse awful pun) since checking out pics of prickly heat on google. Spots are clearing now - just red & blotchy new skin & still a bit swollen & sore. Rash has cleared from the rest of my body. Just itchy now. Managed to sleep all night last night.

I'm just a tad worried about going outside now. Fortunately I don't have to go to the flats today as there is no changeover to do - people are staying another week.

I'm wondering if I can get away with an umbrella for shade on Monday, though I'm thinking a full on burka might be safer :)

Hope things are good with you - how are you coping with the heat?

I'm ok with the heat mostly, it bothers me most at school because I have to wear sensible clothes and can't do as I please, I can't say being pregnant is making it much worse.

Take it easy, and wear loose and floaty things.
