Took yesterday off work to hang out with my youngest daughter. We spent the afternoon at Kelso Park in Milton. Just the small "lake"(er...pond?) pictured about. BBQ'd up some lunch then lazed away on the (man made?) beach there. Great beach weather. 29 Celcuis and sunny. First real hot summery day this year I think. I tried some spray on sunscreen. Think I'm more a fan of the original rub on type. I didn't get enough protection out of the spray on. I think part of the problem is I may have held the can too close. I have burnt and non burnt areas. A lobster zebra man look, if you would. My daughter held up just fine, so it can't be the product. Must be the application....
Thunderstorms and a weather change went through this morning and took the summer weather off with them. Back to 19 Celcuis. Ah well, with city workers on strike and no garbage pickup, maybe cooler is better.
Oh, and despite what you hear on the news, I haven't had garabge pickup in several weeks, but the neighbourhood I live in is still quite clean. I'm sure in the areas right around the designated temporary garabge drop off and storage depots the same can't be said, but individual neighbourhoods seem to be holding up ok. Not swimming in stench and garbage yet. It's only been 3 weeks, after all.

oh these nice nice summer days
I don't like spray on either so just use the normal stuff as well. We can't stay in the sun here for too long anyway Above NZ in a hole in the Ozon layer
If you want to see a hilarious film about problems beyond one's control (the garbage strike struck a chord), Peter, The Out-of-Towners with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis is classic. Plus, you'll be treated to a parody of life in the big city!
