Me garage guttering were never piped into number 1 water butt propper. Last bit were a diagonal square pipe that rested int top at an angle. Eye found oot some of the water were running down the pipe on the inside, at the top of the pipe. So shooting over the water butt where the pipe rests because of the angle and not all the pipe able to go frew the hole. Eye cut the top oft a plastic bottle and put it in to divert said escaping water. Seems to have done the job.
 
Ought to be getting up stoopid early tomoz as they are cutting the water off at 0800 hours.
But then we is off to Castres for the monthly "big shop" and lunch at our fave Brasserie!
So I have decided to have a shave and a shower tonight, breaking the habit of (nearly) a lifetime.
So by having drinking water sorted out we can still get up at a decent hour!
 
W managed to rememeber that she had an "After Bite " stick, one of those with the 3.5 ammonia in it. So I put that on it a coupla times. I also have some antibiotic cream which I had been putting on it.
After a night's sleep it is a lot better and the redness has reduced. Just a tiny little pus-filled head which I am keeping clean and treating.
So much less painful I can walk on it much better and even put my wellies on again!
I kept them indoors last night and inspected then very carefully before putting em on!
But yes, as you say according to t'internet they can get very nasty! And I am 99% sure that it was a spider. Thanks for the concern.
Did he have to have ops to cut away necrotised flesh etc? :eek:

Poor spider must be deed after biting one your plates of meat. 🤣 🤣
 
Did you eventually find a scorpion. You end feeling like **** for a couple of weeks. I had a scorpion in my rain mac when I was in the jungle 1984. Little blighter stung me several times before I managed to get rid of it.
As the only helicopter refueller for the camp I felt I had the flu for two weeks.

So you had flu & no-one else did, were you grounded floored....
