It's only certain species that bite and the bigger they are the worse the bite. I'm sure you must have some as well. The beast must have got trapped between my sandal and foot and hence bit.<br />Heikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999245793961798308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-651314260700563624.post-86869062939120179542012-09-07T19:17:44.831+02:002012-09-07T19:17:44.831+02:00Hope you're 100% fit and digging, kicking, dan...Hope you're 100% fit and digging, kicking, dancing - or even just standing - as normal soon.
