I had an exceptionally long day doing nothing of any relevance (the highlight of the day was cleaning out the communal garden of dead leaves - yeebloodyha).
The other evening I was sorting some of the boxes from The Move, in the 2 * 2 strip of grass we call a front garden. And I was bitten 4 times on the feet.
I decided that if I am to work at all in the garden I need to go out midday - seem sensible? I thought so too. So yesterday I went to organise some the detritus in the garden at around 1 pm. And got bitten on the crotch (YOWZERS!), the thigh and the neck.
A bit of Le Target's anti-itch creme and all is right with the world.
This morning I met with a friend at a small, local, cafe to go over a few aspects of my CV / resume. We had a cup of unpleasant, watered down coffee and chatted for nearly an hour.
We walked to my car and stopped in the shade to go over something - and I was bitten on my arm and hand.
I SO JUICY!!
I got home and asked Her Indoors where the anti-itch creme was and showed her the bite on my hand. It had swollen to scary proportions, but praise be to Le Target, their creme returned the finger to near normal size.
