Oh, I can imagine your rosy cheeks too. That's really hot my dearest friend but you still look pretty. Unlike here, the heat produces too much oil on my skin and face. I extremely enjoyed reading your limerick tonight and that crab thing makes me smile. Thank you so much for sharing. Best wishes to us in the contest. God bless you always and your writings. Hugs

Lol, these days I keep out of the sun, been caught out a few times, one year it was very hot and hazy, didn't realise how hot it was, that night my legs were purple and I shivered all night, lesson learnt. Tom
