Never understood why a wound, any size or type, will itch like mad as it heals. You have just got to scratch it open again .... Evolution at it's worst?

Weird how similar thoughts crop up at similar times...
Last week I was playing golf in Turkey and got nibbled several times by whatever bugs they have out there, and it did cross my mind to wonder what possible evolutionary advantage there might be for insect bites to itch so much.

Couldn't be more proud of eldest tonight

Enrollment in brownies

Had to do her promise alone because my mum (brown owl) put her in the group that's named after my nans brownie name. After she passed they named the group after her. Considering how my nan raised Me until she passed and I'm the only one of her grandchildren old enough to remember her it made me feel so happy.

Elvis by candlelight in Southwell minster last night. It was fantastic. Took the grand sproggs and MIL. Kids managed to get a scarf off Elvis and went behind the stage when Elvis was leaving the Building/ church. They were starstruck.

I was out there at the end of November and I was bitten all over, the bug spray didn't concern them at all!

About an hour ago, I had one of these smothered with apricot jam washed down with black coffee. Very tasty.

We used to get 3 hampers a year sent us by my wife's charitable organisation, there were always oatcakes in them which went straight to the lawn for the birds. We could not even give them away to any of my wife's carers.
