I'm still alive (yet)

I’ve spent today quite nicely. I laid out in the sun int he morning, then we went to have lunch in the city centre, which was actually edible, contrary to the ugly cafeteria look and contrary to the smells coming from the food stuff. There are a few food types I can’t eat due to my allergies, and some just simply turn my stomach. But I managed to avoid them and had a pretty good lunch.

Then we went shopping and I bought some thinner, brown sailing rope for a bracelet. Since I don’t dare to wear my silver stuff into the water, and neither shall I wear my beaded jewelry made of expensive Japanese beads, I had to have something on my wrists or I would go mad. Looks nice by the way.

Also bought lip balm with shea butter. My lips go drier when I try to suntan, so… it was a bare necessity.

She also bought me the prettiest nail polish ever, a deep metallic teal colour with greenish hues (think peacock feather) which she believes is the colour of nail polish Liza Minnelli wore during the first part of Cabaret. I think it looks pretty awesome and have already painted my toenails. Yay. (I hardly ever paint my nails on my hand because it won’t stay pretty for long enough to admire.) Also, I got a pretty hairclip slash hairpin. Black body with a flowery adornment on it. I think the flowers are lotus flowers... or papyrus flowers. Will need piccies to be sure. But hey, it's pretty and my hair can finally be put up... barely.

We also bought fishing line. The guy in that small shop was very cute and very nice… Overly helpful too. He was probably bored. I think I might go back to flirt with him wether I need more fishing line or not. :)

All in all, I’m doing pretty much ok, although my mom should never again be trusted to do my back with sunscreen, because she left out a thick line across my back and it hurts like hell. She also left out a geometric symbol that looks pretty much like a windmill on my right leg. Ouch again.
