By the Lake.

Took the kids to the lake, today, tempertures in the 30's, sky cloudless and blue. my sun tan oil, I took too. Don't want to look, like a lobster, it's not in fashion, looking pale , is also out, so have to go for a healthy tan, and leave you in no doubt. The water was murkey, but we did not care,as long as it was warm, we were happy there. I did not swim too far out, I have to see the shore, feel the ground beneath my feet. Any deeper, and I feel faint, not the best way to be, stranded in the sea. The kids and I had a fun day out, a good time was had by all, only now a few hours later, I am starting to burn, the lobster look, is back in, at least untill the morn, when I hope the tan will come, and I am not so sore.
