Can you catch the sun?

Today’s English
October 2nd, 2017

If you are happy with your job that gives you whatever you want, it is said in English – “you have earned a place in the sun.”  If you are enjoying a favourable or dominant position in your job, there too, people say that you have got a place in the sun.
1. What about your new job? I feel as if I earned a place in the sun.
2. Have you got settled in life? Yes, I got a place in the sun.

Can anyone catch the sun? It's not a small ball, even then it is possible that you can catch the sun. In English, the phrase, “catch the sun" means “to get sunburned.”
1. What a hot summer it is! Don't go out. You will catch the sun.
2. You are likely to catch the sun on your trip. Don’t forget to take the sunscreen.

Can you go to bed with the sun? Yes you can.  Our forefathers could do it and why can't you?  If you go to sleep early, especially at the sunset, you go to bed with the sun. 
1. In the modern touch screen world, who goes to bed with the sun?
2. Go to bed with the sun and you can say goodbye to medicines.

“When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me.”
- Seán O'Casey, “Three More Plays: The Silver Tassie, Purple Dust, Red Roses For Me”
