Tan Line

Thanks to blip I can state with confidence that my feet last saw the light of day on the 25th of May. My legs have seen quite a bit of sun since then, mainly on the bike, but not the feet. And it's a bit of a vicious circle really because once you acquire such an embarrassing tan line you're more and more inclined to keep your shoes and socks on. And I generally do!

This shot has been requested by a few people here. You know who you are! I thought I'd better post it before the tan disappears. Well ... here you go. And no processing was involved!

I think I've come down with something, explaining the general lack of energy and well-being at the weekend. I woke up this morning with an even heavier head than the one I took to bed with me last night. One of my colleagues felt the same this weekend and I've heard from other people that I'm not alone in feeling this way. That's been quite reassuring really.

Thanks for all your kind words and advice. It looks like I've been subject to something of a double-whammy and understanding that has actually put me in a much better frame of mind this evening. Much as though I'd love to spend some time this evening up with you here I fear neither my eyes nor my head are up for it tonight. And the site is regularly so unresponsive right now. The last couple of nights I've had to pretty much give up browsing because the performance issues were so frustrating. It was making me very grumpy. I presume I'm not alone in that experience. Blip folk are so lovely that I sense nobody wants to complain or raise the issue. I felt I had to say something on the forum tonight.
