Mad Dogs and Englishmen

I haven't slept properly in four nights now. This isn't unusual for me, night owl-cum-insomniac that I am, but the stifling heat and the fact that the sun seems to rise at about 3am is really doing my nut in. Have been living off Red Bull and ten-minute naps in the loo at work. Tomorrow is the kick-off for the World Cup, and OMGZ. I won't get out of work on time, but I'm looking forward to the family party when I get home. Hurrah.

Everyone in work is glowing all red and, for those of us with a more Mediterranean backdrop, a gorgeous brown. We're all competing to see who can do the most extensive damage to their skin in the few days which mark summer this week. For the record, I'm a golden-red colour, and loving every mad English bit of it. I dunt want to work tomorrow, what with the searing heat and the World Cup and the whole Friday aspect of it all. Maybe I'll just hide out in the Stroke Unit and pray for 4.30pm. >:

I tend to go an interesting shade of pink before going back to being white again.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow either. Boo!

Will you all compete to see who has the biggest skin cancer in a couple of years??

I swear it's hotter that two or three in the morning that in the afternoon. Yes. I've developed this bad habit of sitting up late reading, and then finding that the heat makes it harder to get to sleep then than if I'd tried at a sensible time like eleven or twelve. And that's with the fan on.

Some girls at work are tangerine... From multiple trips to the tan-o-matic.
I think it looks horrible.
When my boss-woman asked what I thought of her newly acquired tan, I'm afraid I had to fib. I didn't lie however when she enthousiasticly asked whether us guys had seen Big Brother.
