Maybe we should be more careful even here. Presumably long trousers and long shirt-sleeves would protect against?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-30663705053190867492017-08-11T03:03:08.421+01:002017-08-11T03:03:08.421+01:00Terrible about your friend's son.

I used to exercise self and dog when we were housesitting in Herefordshire, and he got a tick on his eye. A friend's son elsewhere went undiagnosed with Lyme's Disease for years - the first test showed nothing; eventually they sent off to America for another, and that's what he had, by which time it had wrought terrible damage. My godson and his cousins all did a big triathlon to raise funds for research. Dear Alexander is a terrible swimmer and was 20 minutes behind the others, but he was first in the cycle stretch and ploughed bravely on. A hero in my eyes.<br /><br />David, haven't I played you the Bumblebee of the Osipov Balalaika Orchestra? Now that's quite a fear of precision... Sure it would prove no problem to Mr Shibe, whose Bach was deep and crisp and even.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-78321601979890940252017-08-09T15:19:21.645+01:002017-08-09T15:19:21.645+01:00I notice that spellcheck turned "Shibe" ...I notice that spellcheck turned "Shibe" into "Shine," and my aging eyes didn't catch it.

Shine looks to be the one who can make that change. The photographs are lovely. I wish I could walk out on that path through the field, something we don't dare do here, because of the ticks.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674930917585246294noreply@blogger.com
