Thanks to her for sharing. <BR/><BR/>If you're really doing something stupid every 5 minutes, I think we're missing out on lots of comedy potential on the blog! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Those sandflies sound horrendous.

Had he read your blog I wonder then followed your progress, purchased and donned it especially for you as he knew you were passing through his patch.
