It's far from right yet, but any improvement is welcome.
That sounds good Mups, perhaps you can now get back to clipping the men's ears on LTP.

Re: Insect bites

Just seen this - poor Mupsy! Could possibly have been a spider bite. A wolf spider caught me a couple of years ago and it had much the same reaction. Glad to hear you are on the mend!

Re: Insect bites

Oh dear, I've only gone and got 2 more darn bites last night! One on each ankle.
I'm still on the Penicillin from the last one!

I actually saw a tiny black thing on my left ankle, like a minute beetle thingy, but no idea what got my right ankle, didn't see or feel anything until it was too late.

My own fault, I had put long sleeves on to start watering last night, but forgot to put socks on too. Then I stepped into a flower bed to reach a rose to dead-head, and was assaulted within minutes!

The right ankle has started swelling. Here we go again . . .

No, don't think so JBR, I know what ticks look like.
It looked more like the tiny beetles eating my runner beans!

Perhaps they've evolved and become carnivorous.
