Hot 5K!

Haven't been out for a week, so I was determined to get out this morning 🌞

I made it out of the house as quickly as I could and got going at about half eight. In the end it wasn't that bad. I tried to stick to shady paths, although I did beat a hasty retreat down one lane as I headed into a cloud of lizcanrun-eating beasties, I'd rather face the sun!

In the end it was very pleasant, but the highlight was Jeni Eclair's description of a seagull stealing her sandwich while she was on holiday in Cornwall, which made me laugh so much I had to slow down! (Older & Wider podcast).

Ironically, considering what I've just written, as I sit here in the garden, one of the little blighters has just bitten me! 😡

Well done, that first run after a break always gives me such a high! So far I've been lucky avoiding any bites but it's warming up over here so I'm sure I won't be able to avoid them for long. Hope that bite heals soon 🦟

Well done and in the heat too! I have a Evy-biting something in my apartment. Haven't found the bugger yet, but it seems as if I wake up every night with a new bite. She (if it's a mosquito only the females bite) also seems to like my nose. First had one on the tip of my nose, when that was gone I had one on the bottom of my nose and afterwards (now) on the side of my nose. Maybe she thinks I should go apply for a job as a clown...

Ew! Sounds nasty! They don't like lemon, you could put some in a saucer buy the bed...

In the past I tried a lot of things. Nothing worked. Now with this peculiar creature I did not try yet...

Well done for getting out there! I hate those little biting beasties and if there’s one in my room, I guarantee I will find it! 🦟 🗞

Before it finds you...
