We drove back up to North Norfolk for a day at the beach with Philippa’s sporty chums today. I got to show off my beautiful corrected shoulder stain! Philippa kept bringing her lady friends over to show it off, and they all ooh’ed and aah’ed and said things like ‘how lovely’ and ‘better than that tacky italic shit my Andy got done on his forearm’
The whole day was lovely, until…
I went in the seas for the first time in as long as I can remember, and what happened. THERE WERE JELLYFISH! The size of a bloody bowls ball! In the sea off North Norfolk!
So I came back out again. Jez the Windsurfer said “Ah, they can’t sting you” and carried on swimming. I looked them up when I got home and, although not fatal to humans, they certainly CAN sting you. So I’ve decided that Jez is not the most reliable source of information on marine life, and - tattoo correction or not - I’m not stripping off to plunge in the sea again this Summer….
Sorry if this posting is a bit disjointed and odd but it was all a bit stressful; and I’ve been drinking cheap beer all day..
