Spending all afternoon trying to rid oneself of the remnants of a rather nasty little bugger, the
blue bottle.
A quick search shows that the vinegar and ice packs used to treat these stingers when I was a kid are now out of favour, and I have to agree that hot water certainly does seem to be the best cure, along with an ample dosage of Stingose.
Unsure now whether I could be bothered with
lasagne for tea, bought some gourmet beef pies in case I find something better to do, like amputating my foot with an A string.
