Hiya

Having had a lovely day here, with no rain or clouds, we have been spending
time tidying the garden, potting that sort of stuff.

I was sitting having a coffee on the patio and thought I found a bit of
compost in my hair, so tried to pull it out.  Turned out to be a wasp, which
stung me on the pad of my finger.  Now I've been stung before by both bees
and wasps, but this was excruciating.

I went indoors and found a lemon that I'd squeezed and wrapped it in that
(from a dimly remembered acid for wasps, alkali for bees).  It seemed to
take some of the pain away, but the finger swelled and became stiff.

However, now it is dying down nicely, with just the stung area hurting, I
have realised that the fingers on my left (stung) hand are a lot less stiff
and achey than those on my right hand.    I can squeeze quite hard with
those fingers now.

I just thought I'd mention it - funny though isn't it?
