Bugged

Last night was later than it ought to have been (home at 2am in the world’s most expensive taxi). Met poor CarbBoy on the landing pacing the house in sunburn pain.

Today started late, but work was fine. My emotional client has taken an entirely illogical position and I have had to send a firm email which I suspect will make her an ex-client after a meeting tomorrow. Shame after all the work I’ve put in (unpaid - it’s an odd situation) but feels a bit of a weight off to be honest.

At some point I spotted another chafer beetle trapped in a spiders web, once mostly cleaned (small paintbrush seems best) I left him in a pot with some soaked kitchen roll for a little drink. He was gone 10 mins later (either eaten or flown off). As we have visitors soon I’m going to have to destroy the cobweb (the beetles will thank me!)

Later, trying to help CarbBoy with the pain thing. A cool oat bath and the softest hand towel soaked in cold water on his shoulders seems to be helping. And another step on our Star Wars odyssey. I fear they will just carry on bringing out new series of Rebels and we’ll never get to the movies I like!
