B is for ...

Bluddy b***ers!

Last day of the school holidays for me.

Up and out for a fast walk with Cousteau first thing.

Off to Mass.

Home for more plum preserving. More jam this time.

Then over to B's parents' place to help with honey extraction.

Prior to said extraction, I took this photograph of some happy, calm bees.

Once extraction had begun, however ... I popped outside to hand B the camera. He was all suited up. I wasn't. The bees were angry.

Long story short, they took exception to the interloper in their midst.

They got caught up in my hair. They stung me quite a lot. On my head and behind my ear.

Ouch!

Still, the honey's pretty good.

Home for a shower and an early night. Pain killers took the edge off! LOL.
