I used to hate being in the sun. Bright sunshine hurt my eyes, and I didn't like being hot and sweaty. In my old age (38), however, particularly following my surgery in 1997 after which I lost about 100 pounds, my internal thermostat radically changed and I became a chilly-willy. The feeling of lying in the warm sun is just sooooooo pleasant now.
I don't do it often, because that would be stupid. I'm naturally very fair, freckled, with reddish-brown hair, and getting a tan is just not possible. Nor is it prudent; excessive sunning causes cancer.
Or maybe not.
Scientists Say Sunshine May Prevent Cancer
Okay, can I just say that I'm getting to the point where I don't believe ANYTHING that "scientists" say nowadays? First something's bad for you, then it's not. How about saying "I DON'T KNOW"?
