Fingers crossed it wasn't a Horsefly or Cleg bite.
I have a really bad reaction to them .

I didn't see the culprit but whole of lower leg red and swollen and flipping sore :-( Plenty of ice and anti-histamine yesterday which helped a bit. I've got a County match today - 36 holes potentially...tempted to put a compression sock on and sod how I look!

In some ways it’s quite amusing to see her kicked out but that means she is coming back to the UK ?
Do you think we can refuse her entry

Not wishing to be alarmist, A, but have you checked the area of the bite in relation to the" Bulls eye" rash of Lymes disease. Etc.
It's worth getting it checked out because the early stages are easily treatable,
Antibiotics.

Still no PCR test result. At this rate I'll be fully recovered before they tell me I had it.Loads of people I know got one recently, all had it the next day. I still haven't got mine - they've definitely dropped it in the bin.

in fairness, he said he believed many people were ready for the future. He didn't say he was one of them...

I couldn't grip a club for 5 days, it was a horse fly, I caught it in the act.

I've had brushes with ticks in the Lake District. Once returned from a week away and found one in the shower tray. Mrs A then discovered half a dozen more attached to me in various natural crevices. I won't go into further detail, but I got plenty of advice some time later when I developed a neuro issue which was eventually followed by a negative Lyme test.
I claim no expertise, but was told or learned from my own research that unless it was still attached, you wouldn't normally even know you'd been bitten by a tick unless it infected you and then it takes a few days rather than hours to get the bullseye rash. Lyme disease carrying ticks are restricted to areas with plenty of deer.
Insect bites in the UK are mostly going to be the usual flying, biting suspects. I always carry some of the kiddie strength insect repellant in my golf bag and spray it liberally on legs and arms. And wear long socks, not trainer socks.
If anything breaks through the defences, Anthisan is pretty good and Savlon if it's still angry after a day or so. Cellulitis is a greater danger than Lyme disease with bites.
Not intentionally being a smart arse. I have just been a menu favourite of bitey things for 5 decades.

One from Saturday. I received a letter advising me that my new (old) car was not compliant with current ULEZ standards for London and should I drive into London I would have to pay a higher rate. Why send this? A/ I live in Northumberland B/ If I want to drive into London (no thanks) I will look it up on the appropriate website
Utter waste of time and money to send this to me, and presumably to lots of others.
