Nah, you have to. Just keep one eye closed and you'll be fine.

I'm not easily "grossed out", but ........... yes, yikes!!

But this weekend I developed a hatred for wasps that exceeds Dada's hatred of budgies - at least the wee birds don't sting you and give you a bad allergic reaction. I thought that 40+ years after the first sting I was over my fear of the little stripey [bad word]s, but it's back with a vengance!!

I was picking brambles down the bottom of my garden the other week, picked a furry one which, when I got round to looking at the thing in my fingers which felt a bit unbrambleish, turned out to be bee.

Thanks for that Marya! You'll have read the other post about my brush with legless things (no, not Mr E) so I won't bore you with it again
