So yesterday I helped coach a group of kids from a neighbouring town. I cycled all the way there, from 8AM, to arrive at 9.20. We proceeded to play for a long time, and I eventually arrived back home at 3.30 PM. I wasn't out in the sun for the duration, but I managed to get horrifically sunburnt. I'm sure there's cancer in this, somewhere along the line.
I can't remember what I was like when I was 16, but these kids were pretty average. There were a couple of solid prospects, but one was only such, because he was was bigger than those around him. If he doesn't learn some skills in the meantime, he will be a liability when everyone else is his size, or at least not afraid of him. Such appears to be the path of all rugby players, starting out from a young age.
In the meantime, I am in agony. This sunburn really is bad.
I also forgot my lunch. At this point I'm wondering what the calorific value of coffee is, and if it's potent enough to sustain me through the day.
On a side-note, does anyone know any home-brewed recipes for sunburn cream? Preferably things I would have already stocked in my fridge.
