Aussiehalley - Halley Down Under

take out your diary

Mark it down - today I got my first late-November sunburn.

You can see exactly where my tank top and cardigan stopped. I look like I'm wearing a red dickie.

What we learned today about skin care:
1. The sunscreen in my face moisturizer does work.
2. One's skin will turn red after 5 hours in the sun without sunscreen.
3. Neutrogena's After-Sun Skin Care Soy Lotion smells really nice.

Christine, Sarah, and I spent a lovely day in St Kilda with Ali and her father, who got in last night. We perused the stock of every bakery, talked to every dog that passed us on the sidewalk, bought fun crap at the arts and crafts market, ate, watched kite/parachute surfers on the beach, and walked through Luna Park (the carnival) and ate carnival candy.

In other news: we booked part of our queensland holiday up to the great barrier reef and environs. So it's official: after years of my sister getting to have outdoor birthday parties with swimming and slip'n'slide and balloon tosses, I will finally be having a summer birthday party. It is going to be on a 82' racing yacht, snorkling around tropical islands. There will be no jackets or scarves or hot cocoa in sight. There will, however, be lots of sunscreen.
