… and damned if you don't.

For years now, one of the primary health warnings in Australia is regarding melanoma.

We've been exhorted to 'slip, slop, slap' i.e. slip on a long sleeved shirt, slap on the sunscreen and slip on a hat.

I've taken the message further and have tried to avoid being out in the sun at all, particularly since retirement.

I've now been diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency :-|

The remedy?

Get out in the sun more often :-S

I'm not alone, this is now a growing problem in Oz.

Off in the next couple of days for a bone density check.

You just can't win :-(
