I know that most of you don't want to hear this ...

But holy hell it was hot here today ... not as bad as Melbourne, nor Adelaide, where it was in the 40s again, and will be again tomorrow. Poor anthraxia , I think of you and the lot down there! It was only low 30s in Sydney, so things could be worse, but still quite draining!

I may have to come back to London sooner than I had planned, so that I can strangle the Times's Dominic Lawson. One more chorus of 'Ooh, it's cold, therefore there is no climate change' and I shall be forced to beat him about the head with an atlas, before showing him that London and Calgary and parts of Siberia are all at the same latitude, and then strangling him. If the Gulf Stream stops, he'll be embarrassed about confusing science with alleged left-wing conspiracies, the goose.

Meanwhile, scarves wrapped around heads, two pairs of tights and two pairs of gloves, you lot! Good luck! I hope the gritters make your street and that the heat holds up inside. As for me, I am running out of clothes I can take off and still be able to go out in public ... And if anyone has recommendations for a sunblock that's good for sensitive skin, do share!

Oh, and Happy Birthday ladydeth12 !

I use Burn Out Clean and Clear Sunblock for eco-sensitive skin. It goes on a bit thick, but not white or chalky. Best part about it is that it was developed by a surfer, so it's insanely durable.

Also depending on how fussy my skin is being that day, I switch to Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer sinks in like a DREAM with no white chalkiness. It tends to go on a bit thin and I find that it takes a while for my skin to absorb it fully. And unfortunately it's not sweatproof unlike the Burn Out.

Oh you're a good soul with your linkage! That first one looks especially good, Sydney is the sweat capital of NSW ... Thank you!

You're welcome hon! I would highly recommend the Burn Out because it lasts all day long under make-up and it doesn't make me break out. Plus it has hemp seed oil as its base, which is GREAT for your skin. :)

Sugars, you are a genius - I treasure your encyclopedic mastery of cosmetic products! I'm researching Burn Out right now and it looks fab.

*kisses* And it doesn't hurt that its creator is a UC Santa Cruz grad, right? ;)

But seriously, get the eco-sensitive Burn Out. It's amazing.
