Well guess who came home sunburnt on her face and all around her neck today, it has been an overcast windy day in NZ with bouts of sunshine, one of those days you really have to be extra careful as you don't even realise you are getting burn't.

I did not notice initially, as she came in and went to her room, i caught her putting on makeup ,something she does not do very often, and especially not after school, she was trying to cover up the burn on her face, she was very sheepish about it when i mentioned her sunburn,i told her oh well i am not buying anything to help it if it gets sore, that's up to you.

There were no arguments, just some smiles on both sides,mine a smile of i told you so without actually saying that, and her's of guilt.

She has gone off to her old primary school gala, and i said well what about the sunburn, she said i will wear a hat, and i have put moisturiser with sunscreen in it, and she wore a jacket to help the bit in the front, i am sincerely hoping folks this will be a breakthrough, melissa is a smart girl and surely she will realise now that what i have been saying is right, here's hoping but not holding my breath.
