Some colour, but not a lot!

 Not a lot to talk about tonight, I have been less than with it. Yesterday evening when I was at the bingo evening my head began to really itch and I couldn’t ignore it completely. By the time I wa indoors it wa difficult not to scratch ll the time. It was worse during the night, itched more when my head was on the pillow! At one point I sat up for an hour doing a crossword. I had used a hir product yesterday that I haven’t used for a while and wondered if I had reacted to it. I had a shower and washed my hair thoroughly , I was ssirprised the water wsnt red as I had scratched my head so much! The head ha still itches ll day nd I now realise that I have numerous bites on my head, ll of which are now oozing as I have scratched the heads off. A couple of weeks ago I had four bites on my head and I think both times it has been when I have worked at St Ninians, which doesn’t bode well as I have said I will develop an area. I will wear a cap next week and spry it with insect repellant! Have taken a antihistamine so hope I will be bled to sleep tonight. That a lot of waffle when I sid I hadn’t got much to say!

This morning I sanded down th canes before getting the first lot stuck in the bucket. The instructions sid to gather them all in a rubber band! That proved almost impossible, they kept slipping out and it was quite frustrating!

I got them into the h ker nd then hd to leave the sealant to sure. Now I have to get others into the gaps, they will need cutting down a bit. This project is proving to be quite a challenge.
Another picture from my chair this morning,
Tina still isn’t properly recovered but we did go shopping this afternoon and I took a few photos when we were out, the trees are reluctant to change colour it seems.

Apart from tidying up some of the cane chaos Nd getting dinner I haven’t done a lot. Will hopefully sleep better and feel a bit more energetic tomorrow,

  1. That all sounds very painful and enough to drive you crazy. After being pleased that you have the job of developing that garden bed it’s a bit of a downer to think it’s the cause. Hopefully the cap and repellent will do the job. In the meantime I hope it all heals up before it drives you mad!
    The bee house isn’t as simple of a project as I thought it would be. In fact it’s a lot of work and expense. They better flock to it and enjoy it once it’s finished and in place 😊 I can imagine all those bits of cane pinging out of that band 😊 But it’s looking good so far.
    The pic from your window looks like there are parachutists dropping to the ground by the church 😊 I know, I’m a sad person.
    It looks a pleasant day there judging by the skies in those pics. Glad to hear Tina is getting better now. Hopefully she’ll be fighting fit by next week.
    I hope you do get a good nights sleep tonight 🤞🤞

  2. Yes, not great to realise my head is a perfect bug biting target! I will make an effort to fend them off in future.
    I will get this bee house finished, but whether the second bucket ends up as one is in question!
    We saw the odd lovely tree but not at an angle that I could take a photo, maybe the rest will turn before all the leaves hve dropped.
    I hope I have a better night too, not that it could be much worse!
