In the meantime, I recommend plenty of sunscreen so you can get out more in that lovely summer sunshine.


Hah! As I write this, Hawke's Bay, the sunshine province of NZ, is being whipped by frigid southerly winds, whose icy fingers are gleefully flicking gelid drops in our faces. Still, when summer does come, it will be nice to know that 8 minutes outside unprotected should almost guarantee skin trouble, perhaps enabling one to join the club of NZers (one a day) who die from melanoma.
