Stilly, I avoid sun & always have, I only found out recently the nasty headaches I got from sun & glare were migraines! Lucky me, most men & women of my generation have sun-damaged skin & skin cancers etc.

Today we're expecting 37C (80F) & I was planning to get on with stuff here, not go out, but a friend called last night - she's free until Jan 2 - gloating! - would I like to visit her library in that period?

Her teenage granddaughter who lives in Alice Springs in the centre of Australia has been visiting & caught covid, & having recovered is now visiting other friends for a few days. I've been wanting to go thru her library (I've been trying to locate a very rare songbook - The Yellowcake Songbook - which she does not have, surprisingly no one I know has it, but it is in the National Library) & perhaps we'll eat lunch in her small but shady courtyard & catch up.
