freckles 23 February 2010
I long for some sunshine. I want to make freckles on my face. I am usually quite wary of the sun but this year I NEED SOME and hope to get away for 10 days or so at the end of March/beginning of April SO where will I get guaranteed sunshine then? – preferably in a close-by time zone (I don’t fancy flying far enough away for jet lag if it’s only going to be a break of just over a week…). I want to make the happy vitamin (D?) while straining my face toward the sun like a sunflower.* Am I thinking it’ll have to be Tenerife or the Canaries then?? Advice please. Course you know what’ll happen – some bags will offer me a job I really want to do and I’ll do it and suddenly it’ll be time to go back to the tv series and I’ll have narys the freckle to show for myself at all (at all)…
It snowed in Dublin today and I was reminded of the 5 weeks it followed me around during and after the Christmas break – hence the urgent longing for a few uninterrupted rays of the fireball we circle everyday…
Oh, and when i was a kid I HATED my freckles..now I don’t mind them so much…but maybe that’s cos i never really have them anymore because I don’t get to lie in the sun very often…
*I love passing the huge fields of sunflowers they have in France – and I always hope (against all hope) that there’ll be one dilettante plant facing the other way!!
