Today I had my real encounter with the dreaded midge's. I've already been bitten a few times in the past but today was different. Cindy asked me to take some rubbish out to the bin which is something I often do for her. As soon as I stepped out of the back door I could see literally swam's of the things. They are only very little but they have a big irritation factor. By the time I got to the bin and back, which is only like a hundred meters away I had about ten bites on my hands, neck and forehead. They got all in my hair so I had to undo that and shake them out. I should have know they were bad today as I saw Sheena arrive with a head net on and gloves. It's the first time I've encountered them being that bad.
