F*$&£n Hell it's Hot

[Mullardman]

Another of the little bastards got me this evening. Had hardly set foot outside all day but there was intense early evening sunshine so I sat outside whilst preparing some Basil leaves to knock up a bit of Pesto.. as you do..

Within a minute or so I was brushing yet another longish/blackish/silent-sneaky/slightly different looking fly from my leg. Despite further vigilance, the bastard settled on my shoulder and although I brushed it off almost immediately, it had me.
Within a minute or so it had developed into something resembling a mild wasp sting so I slapped a load of 'Anthisan' on.
7 hours later it is just a bit irritating, but I'm itching all over. Whether this is imagination, or some sort of reaction, I have no idea, but I'm getting a bit pissed off with these 'Tabanidae'/Horse Flies. Not a serious reaction, otherwise I'd be seeking help PDQ, but I've never had this much trouble before.

As soon as the school holidays start. Poor kids. It just isn't fair.

'Orrible in London. Wet and humid. Good for bike skidz though, I did a right good one this morning. At least 3m with a good sideways power slide lean. That's how you get the girls.

No complaints here. It pissed down royally on Sat night, but Sunday, Mon and Tues were OK. Just a few showers.

Cloudy /showery now but still warm. I reckon it's a long long time since we had so many successive days over 20 degrees.
