I can feel a little cold creeping up on me…

風邪っぽい。

I think I am a little worn out from the seminar and…. Insect bites.

We had a great discussion over insect repellent today. I was trying cinnamon oil and I believe that I didn’t get bitten much today, but it’s difficult to tell if it worked or not because I was working in different areas today. Citronella oil was argued against by one of us. DEET stuff are good for mossies but not for midges etc. One of the senior gardeners recommended me a moisturiser by Avon called ‘skin so soft’. She says it works for her for midges (she gets bitten a bit otherwise) It was recommended to her by a forest worker in Scotland and I didn’t know that Scotland is famous for midges. (Is that true? I didn’t have problem when I was there – I wasn’t gardening then though!)

I hope my forehead clears up soon so I can actually tell which is new bites – then I can rate all different repellents.

The search continues.

Presumably a cat’s job. Poor little shrew…
