Whew - that was quite a long weekend. Went to a piss-up on Friday night with an old friend and a couple of her mates - she got mortal, we ended up in bloody Opium (music pretty poor as usual) and then I had to get her home. Had to carry her most of the way, she decided she had to go into Negociants, managed to persuade the bouncer to let her in, and then luckily fell into a big plant pot on the way in, so we could leave again.

Yesterday went out to Cramond Island to camp for the night - was okay, although there wasn't enough firewood, so the fire was rather small...rained overnight, then we saw lots of jellyfish (mainly washed up) while waiting for the tide to go out so we could walk back to the coast.

Am now pretty tired. Oh yes, I got bit by a fecking beetle too! Paralysed one of my fingers for a while, now it just hurts...must look it up and hate it :O)

Now to relax for the evening...aaaahhh.

Oh I read it thinking it was her so it makes sense :)

Hope you find the beetle so you can hate it :D

Don't worry - maybe they'll take over from spiders as my least favourite invertebrates...

I'm trying to find out! Currently browsing through pictures of the class(?) carabidae conjuctae, but I've not found it yet...there are too many! And I don't have a camera :(

Well I can move it properly, but the muscle hurts rtight up my forearm...I'll keep searching, but I'm not confident about finding it.
