Ow

Late last night, while getting out of the bath, I failed to spot the wasp perched on the towel. Well, I didn't spot it in time, anyway.

End result: two stings to my right thumb and one to my right index finger. Oh, and the wasp is still out there somewhere. The little git.

My thumb still hurts, too. Not a good place to be stung when your job involves a lot of typing... :(

War / Not a good day for GWB

So, what have we had today?
( happenings )

Political people are seriously talking about "re-evaluating" our relationship with the USA after this war. Given the political fall-out so far, following a war-hungry Bush administration into Iran or North Korea could be disastrous - I can see the British government trying to tactfully step away when they get a chance...

Finally, as ever, the US armed forces are still killing more UK troops than the Iraqi armed forces are. This is nothing new - it was the largest cause of UK casualties in the last Gulf war, too, and the UK has never forgotten that.
