Can't believe how strong the little bugger was. Really had to pull hard with the tweezers to get it out. Not nice. From now on I'm wearing armour whenever gardening in long grass. This calls for a very large Gin & Tonic. For purely medicinal purposes, you understand.
Last year in back garden, among thick bushes, never felt a thing until I sat down in the house. Hadn't seen anything that looked like a fly. Legs started to itch. I had over 30 bites on each leg. If I go near them now I tuck my trousers down my socks.
