Nope. It's a case of diminishing returns, but higher is still higher. That's why >50 is very rare*, and manufacturers will just rate anything that exceeds 50 as 50+.

*Edit: Apparently 50+ is the maximum that it can be labelled as outside the US (there are no restrictions there) in order to avoid unrealistic claims from misunderstanding, and is >=60 in actual SPF.

I love watching sunlight stream in through gaps in the clouds.

Wait, does that mean I can market SPF9000 sunscreen in the US?

I saw some the other day, it was borderline thunderstorm clouds and then 'god rays' came peeking through just to the south.

I miss being able to sit on my windowsill at home...

This evening is one of those perfect evenings where I would sit there, watching the sun set and the stars come out, listening to some relaxing, heartfelt music and letting everything just slip away.

I used to sit on a windowsill at my old place too. I hope you get back home soon Fkeu, it sounds too good to miss out on that.

I used to sit on a windowsill at my old place and stare at either the leaves of a huge Canary Island Palm blowing in the night breeze or the stars:

I've lost a bit of the urge to do it, so Ima hold off doing my novel for a day or two. Should fix this little problem.

Ah that reminds me. Ima post my first portrait of my little android person up here.


Hopefully, I'll have a full picture done up this time tomorrow.
