I clearly rock this picture as I know what I’m always bringing to my table.
Frankly these days its a one person salad and tin of tuna. A dash of mayonnaise if Im feeling wild.
I am all about quick and not being in the kitchen longer than I need to at the moment.
Dont get me wrong, I do actually love cooking and love experimenting but its not the same when you are doing one person meals. In fact its pretty unexciting.
I do wish I had a butler named James. You know, the guy who dresses in the smart butler ish suit and caters to all your whims?
Mine would be a fine menu each night, drives to the seaside, being piloted to some foreign country and my housework being miraculously never needing for me to look at it and think, oh Christ.
Clearly the saying in the picture isn’t referring to dinner time. I’m not that daft.
It just tickles me to make it about the meal as I cant stop thinking about dinner right now.
Despite my excitement when the sun comes out and baring the bod in it, I am always mindful of the damage it is capable of doing to us.
I always wear sunscreen and have done now for quite a few years given I did damage my skin when I was younger.
Being an Aussie I grew up in the some of the worst conditions in terms of how close it is to the equator and how strong that ultraviolet radiation is from the sun.
Would you believe when I was younger, the idea of being bronzed was always about how healthy you looked. You looked good being tanned and I was one of those people who always out on the beach in the sun for hours on end and was always throughout the year very tanned. I was like that until we started to understand more about the damage the sun could do and the increasing rise of skin cancers.
Do you know when I was at school (this is how stupid we were back then). We would take baby oil to school and in our lunchbreaks slather it on our legs and arms and sit in the sun exposing our skin. I mean seriously we were barbecuing ourselves!
I still go out in the sun but I reserve it for mornings and no more than an hour . Most of the time I love being outside but will seek shade more often than not now days.
I have damaged my skin over the years. I worry that the brown melanin changes in my skin on both my face and arms and legs could change and I regularly check for anything that doesn’t look right.
I have to. My brother had a large cancer on his shoulder some years back. He was the one who didn’t worship the sun! But when he did go out, burnt himself like crazy.
Do you know even pets have their own sunscreens too? Yes they too can burn, and humans often forget that leaving their dear cats and dogs in the searing heat with a lot of water and no shade is equally as stupid.
So remember your umbrella if you are out, there is a reason they were made not just for the rain. Also remember, tanned hide like skin isn’t beautiful or healthy.
Its signs that your skin is changing and could kill you or even worse have you left with disfigurement because of the sun.
Remember Slip, Slop Slap, Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat. This was the message I began to grow up with once we learnt about the dangers.
Heres the video song. You will be singing it before long.

Elisa outfit (dress, necklace and shoes) with hud from Enigma at the Dazzle until June 25th
This image conjures up to me what many people go through on a daily basis, some speak, but more often than not it’s a reflection of how inner selves are feeling with real life situations.
Or as the saying goes, biting ones tongue. Something I’m rarely guilty of as I tend to most times speak my mind, unless it will hurt someone’s feelings.
At that point I’m always hesitant and will lock my mouth till I feel its safe to unlock. Usually not a good idea as it then all comes out wrong.
I watched one of these earlier on You Tube and I thought, how much fun is that! So decided I would take the plunge and do one.
I could have gone nuts with the questions as seriously there were more than what I have done.
Frankly that would be like a full length film and you would need to at least get some popcorn.
Ive tagged a few people in the video in order to not put any one person on the spot to feel like that had to do it. Its always a choice to do a challenge and so I tagged a few, but of course ANYONE is welcome to participate. Its all for fun and you can answer as a real person or as your virtual person. It is up to you.
I answered as me.
The questions are down below under the video and credits.
Shocking I know. I have done a fashion video and not spoken.
I decided that often I sound like a right lemon when I ramble about huds and colours and maybe its best to shhhhhh and let the video do the talking.
Well that is what I think. Plus I am starting to sound like my Thelma and Harriet characters now and I need to give the vocals a break before Harriet’s shrill voice tomorrow.
I do love a hud so of course now and then I still make the hud videos. On top of that I cant resist a video or two or three.
I’m a bit like this title at the moment.Week off work and where has the sun gone?
I went for a walk around the lake earlier today, no sun.
So anyhow I have driven myself nuts working on my little sim and I must have changed the wind light like 100 times because I just can’t make my mind up.
So I’ve decided to leave it as it is and try sort out my totally poor landscaping. Not my greatest skill but I try.
I’d love you to visit and please ignore the grass that is not quite placed correctly, but as I said, I’m not a landscape artist and I will have to ask my friend to pop over and sort my grass out because frankly I’m a gardening nightmare. I changed the name of it to Namaste Beach after a random conversation with someone and the fact that this makes me smile for many reasons with a friend of mine. Namaste Beatches and have a great evening.
I’ve just woken up and frankly I do not wish to move.
Have the beginnings of a cold and that feeling of aching and the nose wanting to detach itself from the rest of me.
I could ring in sick but as most of my team are either off sick or on leave that would leave one person on their own.
If I’m well enough to write this then I may as well sit at my desk and appear.
I know right, such a soldier of work ethic.
I loved the outfit here when I put it on. Simply because the t shirt hud had the funniest motifs and yet the look is quite cool and edgy. Just made me chuckle as I do like a little twist to what’s expected.
