English Paste

Oh my goodness! I went out for a walk today (don't all die of shock!!), and had a bit of a rude awakening.

After exerting myself for a good 40 minutes, give or take, I returned in company with my fellow walkers to the carpark where most of us took off a layer or two to help cool down before moving on to a cafe to celebrate our efforts and I just about ran for cover!! My Summer tan has up and left me! It has gone and I mean gone! So far gone that I don't remember being this white in years and even then, I wasn't this funny kind of pasty white.

I now know what it feels like to be English! I am suddenly the epitomy of pasty and it's just... bizarre! Now's your opportunity to tell me you're all in the same boat (excluding the Collings family who have been on the East Coast of the North Island since January and will put us all to shame come our return to College after Easter!!).

...and for the 2nd and final time, is there no-one out there who is going to help me with my readings??! Come on! Only 200 pages and a brief synopsis is all I require!... You might be pleased to know that in fine (and very typical) Karen form, I am currently part way through 9 books - 3 course related (snore!) - and 2 booklets of readings. Oh man! *sigh* ...finishing 4 books was just NEVER going to happen! May my lecturers have mercy on me!
