Harsh!

I know I whinge about the harsh sunlight in Oz, how you don't really get it until you spend time in it etc etc - but really. I mean it.

While getting Malibu-bottles-that-didn't-stop-birdsong-before-dawn out of the swiming pool, we had to lay the pool cover down on the grass. This was simply so we could get to the pool water. The pool cover is designed to stop evaporation (apparently it does not stop bottles). It reminds me of bubble wrap - but big. Heavy plastic, but that's all it is.

We left it on the lawn for less than 90 minutes in the morning (least harsh sunlight of the day). It trapped some heat in there, I guess.

Yeah baby. No wonder I burn so easily.
