Well, the recent period of good weather prompted a mini flurry of Spring activity here smile

I shaved my legs (had to be done in the bath, can't do that "flamingo" thing in the shower) toenails painted (by MR P, he can get nearer to them than me, and as long as he has his glasses on and good lighting, the result isn't too bad wink

I even found and i*on#d my cropped trousers shock (after checking to see if they still fitted, of course, no point wasting energy!

So, so all ready and good to go!

Except it is now dull, overcast and a tad chilly................sad

Phoenix of the pallid legs
Go back to wearing longer kegs
Of too much tan you must beware
Especially if your legs you bare

On milky arms and pale skinned face
Factor 50 you must place
Protection from the suns strong rays
Is what we’ve all been told these days

But if the fake tan route you try
Those in passing crowds will cry
“Her skin is fine and white as snow
But her legs a fiery orange glow” ?

Still using my double winter duvet and sometimes with a hot water bottle.

Still wearing my winter coat at times.

Still in vests.

Still have the heating on.

Brrr!

My CH has been off since mid March.
I like cool.
Hardly worn any jumpers over winter and can truthfully say that I've worn a coat/jacket fewer than 2 doz times since Christmas.

Pale limbs don’t look too great I know,
Who wants legs as white as snow
What you need to do,my love
Is buy yourself some self tan Dove.
( It’s Dove Summer Revisited....and is brilliant, gives a very natural look, no orange.)
