      I have never found anything more boring than sitting on a beach, not something I have done since I was a child, to pay for the privilege would only be rubbing it in for me.
      I don't settle in one place for long, if I can help it.
      Even worse are people who sit round a swimming pool, that would have me tearing my hair out.
      Here we go, my entry into the grumpy old git of the year award. The sun was in my eyes 16876923251021765640089925024670.jpg

              Agree. Same here with both of us. However, we can somehow manage sitting at a beach bar people watching! :whistle:

                  I can happily sit in the sun all day and would be my ideal holiday on a beach. At home there are too many distractions so I rarely relax in the sun, maybe in the evening for an hour or two. But I have sun block, hat and UV sunglasses. I'm often in the greenhouse where it's 40c currently I like it. We are all different, I head to the sauna if we stay in a Hotel but never go near the ice plunge pool.

                      Never used it myself.
                      Yeah, I could manage a bar for a couple of hours. :)

                        Melanoma skin cancer


                        Sorry to go on about this but a cousin of mine died from this in her 40s . I was :steamy:scared when I was diagnosed with the same type in my early 40s too. 2 lots of surgery and 10 years of follow up appointments later all is good..
                        Even now every ache I have in that leg, knee and hip they always run scans first to eliminate cancer , melanoma is a notorious spreader !!

                        In my mind there is no room for complacency...

                        Keep safe.
