Thanks

To you guys who have been so kind and nice to me lately. I dunno what to say....
cept, well, gluttons for punishment ye`s are, so back to blogging as normal for me then. *grins*

We had a glorious weekend of sunshine. So, in time honoured tradition, what did yours truly do? Oh aye, right...go out armed with blanket, cushion, soothing music and a good book..and fell asleep in the midday sun....and hey, I`m neither a mad dog nor English!
Two hours later, I woke up thinking, "Goodness me, I`m rather hot!" (which is not true, I swore, but this IS the beeb, so.....)
and staggered, headachy, indoors, to look in a mirror, and shrieked.
Yes...I look like a tomato....a flourescent, glow in the dark, bright red tomato.

But that`s not the worst of it.
Being a woman of..shall we say..a certain age...(och alright, I`m forty-bleedin`-six!)...I thought, I`ll dye my hair...well...everyone`s entitled to a midlife crisis, right?
So, already blonde, I thought, I`ll go blonder. Peroxide, in fact.
Oh boy.....
Anyways, according to the son, I now look like some kinda demon-woman from the dark regions of hell or wherever many of the video games have their demon hordes hiding in.....
and he`s right....bright red skin...bright white hair...I look freaky, man!

No, there will be NO forthcoming pictures! I`m redying the hair to get it back to normal. I`m slathering myself with whatever I can bear to put on the skin that doesn`t make me yell in pain....
and I`m HIDING from the sun, much as I love it.

Another yearly tradition over and done with...you`d think, at my age, I`d learn....I blame the lack of sun this far north....it`s so rare, when it comes out, it drives folks like me crazy and we just go out and worship it.....*blushes*
(or would blush but am already too red for it to be noticed.....)


There are a grand bunch of folks on this place that is Island Blogging, y`know. I`m very lucky to `know` ye`s. :-)

Don't ever go to Australia, HL! For the sunburn, try aloe vera gel, very soothing and cool. Or maybe you'll turn into a bronzed blonde babe...

I agree HL, island bloggers are a great bunch, and even if we don't meet face to face, I think that we have a great support system. Some very talented folk too, including yourself and your fantastic writing. Well keep out of the sun, but perhaps rain is on its way !!

Squidgy the Otter from Isle of Coll


I think we should see this peroxide blonde tomato Hermit. Look if you can't make a fool of yerself on IB, where can you, so come on Missus get snapping, and remember we'll be laughing at you and not with you, or vice-versa. Cheery....

BUT THERE HAVE TO BE PICTURES! oh come on woman you have many an awful snap of me, some in big white dresses :) G'won email me a picture! :) Glad to see the proper blog :) couldn't do without this...

I know someone older who has throbbing scarlet calves. "I'll just roll my jeans up and weed the pond" became "I'll just lie in the sun and read for a while" which became "I wish I hadn't left those jeans rolled up..." Crabtree&Evelyn for Gardeners has been very soothing, though reading the ingredients list after was a bit...interesting...

46 ... forty six? you look about 16

scallowawife from in a state of anxiety


how do you manage it hl?

carol --- from searching for the botox


Good, HL, good that you are cheery again. Remember the old saying that we learn most by our mistakes..... which should mean that I'm a wonderful handy-man by now, but I must be the exception that proves the rule. (handy with a saw and hammer, EffCee, before you get in one of your double-entendres).

Barney from Swithiod smiling and laughing


Spoilsport!
