I have come to the realisation that I have become one of those umbrella toting 'Aunties' who perpetually reek of sunscreen on hot sunny days. The hamster and I used to bake ourselves silly during the height of Australian summers, but those days are long gone for me. Learning about the harmful effects of prolonged sun exposure and listening to the famous local media whore pasty lizard skin coloured plastic surgeon remind his chi chi clientle that sun ages ones skin was impetus for me to begin my sun dodging activities. I still have those awful tanlines on my shoulders from a year and a half ago when we went to Perth because I got complacent with sunscren and slapped it on lazily, covering only as far as my fingers could reach. Needless to say, I was left with a crusty tan outline of my pudgy fingers on both shoulders as the only souveniers from the trip. Nice.
Sun and Jo is not a happy Jo no more. I have become an aunty.
