Rain check on tomorrow

Well the cruise up the Lynher is postponed. A rain check.
Why?

Because gardening today I disturbed an undiscovered wasps nest as I was trimming the hedge. Twenty five stings and two minutes later, after the swarm had covered me, I was off to casualty.  Suffice to say I'm not allergic to wasp stings but I'm swollen all down the arms, hands and back. Fortunately none attacked my face. My wife says its because the wasps were traumatised by my ugliness!

Full of antihistamine , I'm not allowed to drive for another twenty four hrs.
Ugh!
Day one of my Summer holiday. Lets hope it gets better!

  2. I promise you " ouch" was not the expletive that issued forth! It was extremely painful and I was rather lucky. Good to hear from you steve

  3. I've often wondered why I never get stung by wasps. Now I know! Hope you're doing better my friend. At Sucia last year, my son kept getting stung by wasps in his feet. We later found out that these type of wasps burrow into the ground and they get really mad when you tread on their burrows.
