Day 60 Fri 15th Aug
Imagine if you will your average everyday family of mosquitos on vacation. They're having a cracking time zooming around, having a laugh and taking in the sights. Daddy mosquito decides it's time for a bite to eat, so after checking the map and arguing with mummy mosquito about directions, they whizz down to the local diner, which just happens to be my arm. And boy did they tuck in. My elbow is now red, swollen and very sore. The only half decent thing to come out of the situation is that if one places ones hand on said elbow it vaguely feels like a small breast. Mozzy spray is rubbish, 100% deet is rubbish and i'm loosing my patience. Other news; i had a lie-in, finished early and didn't feel guilty; the Katy Trail is pretty interesting and the villages along the way are welcoming if not a little quiet; still no blister; i haven't had a coffee all day; the champion steer (big bull type cow thing) at the local Washington fair sold for $3,885 and weighed 1,295 pounds.
