Nature likes messing around with me when I try to touch it.
This afternoon was fun. I went to the linear as usual - this week's theme was fae and demons, so fairly sensible.
Anyway, I was playing a monster being chased, who had some fun being slowly chased, and who wet caught fell down as expected...
...right onto a patch of nettles. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
I have stings all down the outside of my right hand from little finger to halfway down forearm, and two patches on my back where my clothes don't quite meet.
We continued for a little longer, but I was in enough pain after a while that I stopped playing the monster at an appropriate point and went to look for something to get rid of the pain.
One trip to the car park and a now-slightly-broken tube of antihistamine cream later, it was less painful and more tingly.
It's been like that all day now; typing is a little hard, as is leaning against a wall. Hopefully sleeping on it won't be impossible.
