Little pesky things

Over on the "alternative" (sic) BondBloke you will find a short piece about our visit to the Isle of Skye Music Festival (as festival virgins aged 44 and 55 respectively...) this last weekend. There are also links to pictures. 'Twas great. Well most of it was. Although the weather was distinctly iffy this at least kept the midges away, and we didn't get particularly wet or muddy. However, this morning we did discover that we had brought home a couple of friends from Skye: two ticks. A happy half hour was spent this morning removing these. It's interesting that we had one each. It's as if they'd seen us and said, "right, lads, one each". I had the bigger one, and BB had the smaller one. Yuck. Here are some nice pictures.
