I've had my first sunburn of the year. It was by no means the worst burn I've ever had, but Mr. Carny was aghast I could be burned on a cloudy day (UV rays can pass through clouds, you dolt) and immediately assumed my pasty white Irish heritage to blame. I'm not sure what's going to be worse: the risk of skin cancer or the Leprechaun jokes.

But I'm digressing. Sunburn. Awful stuff. I'm in the incredibly annoying 'itchy' phase where the skin is healing but is creating this distracting itch in the process. Mercifully, it's only on the arms. Facial sunburn is both the most damaging and most embarrassing sunburn you can get, I think.

I don't have any horror stories though. I don't holiday in hot countries (which is probably for the best), but have you guys experienced blistering holiday sunburn?
