Ugh! Forgot to mention that the day after I stepped on a bumble bee and got stung on my right instep I did it again but this time it was my left big toe. Neither are painful but they are itching more now than when it happened. I inspected the sites before I got out of bed and they are slightly redder than the surrounding skin. It's quite annoying and made it harder to get to sleep last night.

Does anyone know how long this takes to fade away? Is there likely to be anything at the chemist that I can apply to reduce it?

Bought a Central Fife Day Rider bus ticket and went to Leven. The town has a nice beach but today there's a stiff easterly breeze and it's only about 15 C with almost total cloud cover.

Having a cheese and onion toastie with a mocha in Café Hanarela near the bus station.

The mocha tastes quite good but is really just a hot chocolate with a shot of espresso mixed in. The toastie is nice and came with a hash brown, coleslaw, and salad dressed with balsamic vinegar which made a pleasant change.

The young woman, girl really, who brought my food complimented me on my dress.
