ÕEvery-Days are Sun-days in Spain Õ
I am really enjoying practices, but the sun has been absolutely unrelenting.  In a bid to save my skin (and eyes), I have resorted to wearing longs, copious amounts of sunblock, a visor and shades on court.  It's all extremely effective, the only drawback being I probably look like 1) I'm in purdah, or 2) a freak on court.  The only consolation I bring to my sheepish consciousness is that I'd much much rather look like a weirdo, than burn my collagen and regret it ten years later (face wrinkles included... Eeks!)  
The longs that have saved me thus far are my trusty 2XU tights:

 (read: absolute God-send) 
and a long-sleeved top.  With my very thorough pre-practice routine (read: carefully smothering birthday suit in sunblock, and then putting on my longs), I thought I'd be less prone to the sun's evil tanning tentacles.  Unfortunately, it didn't save me the incredible "surprise" I got when I shrugged off my tights after practice today:

The damn X of 2XU had tanned itself on my thigh....$*(&#$^@%** .... Damn you sun... damn you! -_____-"
