I’m just logging on to check mail and to say hi. Sorry, no photos. The PC I’m on is so old it doesn’t have USB ports. I know. Is that even legal? What’s that all about?!
ANYWAY. Taking a breather. Taking time to reflect on a lot of things. Mostly shifting goalposts. Etc.
Kids enjoying everything: lakeside play (and lakeside shivering), beach play (and beach shivering), osprey watching (yes! we’ve seen them! Score!). Oh and my first adventures with finding ticks on children *SHRIEK*. Actually that would be more like *SHRIEEEEEEEEK SHRIEK SHRIEKKKKKKKKKKK* the downside of nature - the day when I wanted all deer DEAD. The day when a concreted patio made sense.
*waves at DH*
Right my allotted time is over. This is Pay as You Go.
SHRIEK.
I miss civilisation…..
Oh ticks!
I probably pull 50 + a season off my kids and dh. And twice that again off the animals. Ug they are so gross (the ticks, not the kids, dh and animals). What is really bad is the tiny ones that get in the armpits and belly buttons.
Oh, and the massive ones I occasionally miss despite grooming the kids every night..the massive ones that swell to the size of small grapes..ug ug ug.
Is just horrid stuff, but nature innit?
ticks are all around this area…something we always have to watch for. Still not used to that!
Hope you are having fun. Looking forward to hearing about your adventure!
