Took a brief walk after lunch. 5 minutes into the walk or maybe its 2 minutes but it feels like 60 minutes, and I felt sick. The weather is turning HOT !!! I am now back in the air-con space, officially announce sun-baked.

Did I get to exercise - NO !!!
Did I get sick - thought I almost died !!!

Welcome to the desert indeed.

Do you've a cucumber nearby?

No. But I saw some aloe vera by the greens the other day.
To get there, I will have to walk through the heat / sun. Not a good idea

Yeah it's getting hot now.

Still pretty nippy at night though.

I heard it will be cold tonight due to that "Shawarma" wind again !

Why does everything in this forum turn to food?

hahaha or the after effects of food???

haha babydoll .. nasty..

does anyone actually eat cucumbers...I always get a lot of attention from male shoppers when I am picking the best ones out...so I stopped buying them...

Food is one of the basic needs in life.

Coz thats the only thing that can break the ice in here.....

Another thing BD...make it a point of bringing a small bottle of water whenever you venture out.....so easy to be dehydrated here....

Thanks!
I kid you not. I only walked out for like 2 minutes.

hmm, didn't notice it was that hot today. But I don't mind, I need the sun since I'm white as hell at the moment.

Sun like this probably give you fast skin cancer than tan ..

Its a good thing to acclimatize your body again to the heat after a long spell of cold weather here....a shorty walk outside (not b/w 12-2) 2x a week will suffice. As the summer starts you can be sure you'll not feel like you're in a tandoor....

Just to remind you that lighter skinned persons are much more prone to skin cancer due to over-exposure to heat coupled with the humidity.

Eh, I've been here all my life. This isn't much at all compared to the Summer as you may know.
That reminds me of a time we went to the coast of Oman in a small speed boat. We were supposed to switch to a bigger air conditioned boat when we got there but it had some problems so it never made it. That left us in the sun from 8:00am till 6:00pm with pretty much no shade. I didn't get sick but nobody could touch me for like a week! Good times.

Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock. Tanning ages you like mad too.

Although the body does need exposure to sunlight to produce vitamin D.
