Sparks, wasps and stripping a biker.

Well, well, well, the things that happen whilst running. Motorbike came to a sudden stop right in front of me, leapt off his bike and started taking off his leathers. ‘Hey up!’ thinks me (I am from Yorkshire). A wasp had flown into his leathers AND he was allergic. Well, life or death, would have been remiss not to help. Ice towel come in handy again.

There you go treadmillers, what other persuasion do you need to get outside?

Happy running peeps 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏍

Blimey! With a title like that I had to read and now have a mixture of emotions ranging from "poor guy" to "lucky you" 😕

That's good. The wasps are particularly aggressive atm. One chased me this evening and everywhere I went it went and I couldn't shake it off. Mind you, I was wearing a flowered dress so maybe it thought I was a flower 😏

I was in the National Archives one day, minding my own business at one of the microfiche readers when the lady next to me said"Excuse me, but are you wearing Lynx? "At last I thought, the adverts are true, so" yes I am" I replied, "I thought so she said, I am allergic to it" with that she walked off coughing and sneezing, 😂😂😂
