Sitting outside in the sunshine may not be as relaxing as I thought........

[Chrissy]

I must admit I like to take advantage of the sunshine and sit in the garden reading my Kindle, and have been enjoying the long period of sunny weather we've been enjoying here in Britain.

Today my OH went shopping for an hour while I was outside reading. I decided to refill the bird bath with some nice fresh water, then failed to spot there was a wasp on the back of my bikini bottoms before I sat back down on my sun lounger.

OMG it was really painful. I have 4 swollen stings. I felt the first one and immediately got up, couldn't see anything so sat back down. Bad idea!

I cleaned it with surgical spirit and took an anti-histamine, so it's much better now. What a good job I have plenty of padding there!
