I am no kind of Sun Worshiper

My favourite kind of weather

Yesterday it was a sunny day, I know because the wife caught the sun and this morning one side of her is bright red, not the best of a look for the Birthday girl. I am NOT a sun worshiper I am more of a winter person without the rain. Of the British weather, I would welcome no rain if god or some nerdy scientist can fix it.

I woke up this morning welcoming what looked to be a dull, overcast day to look forward to until the ruddy sunburst through an unwelcome outcome. Thankfully, there was a nice breeze to chase the sunrays away a result for me but not the worshipers of the sun.

Even as a youngster, I felt the same about sunshine even the six-week summer holiday was a pain if it was too hot. It could be too hot to run around that is why we risk catching some water borne diseases swimming in the River Taff and if there was any money floating around the healthier option of the swimming pool would be better and technically safer.

I am an old man now and the heat bothers me once the sun begins to rise I seek solace in the shade preferably at home with my fan at full blast. If I have to shop or something, I often go in the early morning before it becomes too hot for me or in the late evening. You will not find me active outside in the mid-day sun unless it is an emergency.

Even a pretty woman or two wandering around scantily clad cannot win me over to the sunshine and the beach would be my worst nightmare. I do not even like sitting in my garden in the summer I would rather sit inside to look at the sunshine through my back door.

My ideal holiday would be somewhere like an all-inclusive holiday at the South Pole preferably in the dead of winter.
