A rambler's stroll...

I have mentioned earlier on the blog, I am working in a university Lab (working on fruit flies). Well, today all the lab, consisting of five people, decided to go for a stroll on the hills. The weather is lovely for the past week or so, thus we dressed lightly and left the civilisation behind us. We walked from Falmer (from the university) to Kingston (to the pub). Our stroll was amazing, a bit difficulty during our descend (mind me, you have to wear the appropriate footwear, and I obviously didn't). We arrived at Kingston on time for lunch and for some drinks too... plenty of water, plenty of pints of beer and some G&Ts ...
And then we were back on our feet for our walk back! The whole experience was great, I was amazed that I finally had the opportunity to see the real England, you know ... low hills, plenty of sheep and cows around you, the sun burning your face and any other exposed part of your body... a couple of beers and a really nice company.

In conclusion, my feet are blistered, my face is red hotttt! and I feel like I either had too much to drink (no way, I had just 1.5 pints) or the sun was too much for me.
My feet are killing meeee! It was my mistake to wear the wrong (completely wrong, believe me) footwear.

I had a hell of a time ... and I hope everyone else did as well!

I tried soaking... It helped!
For the burns, I did use Vaseline intensive care with aloe vera ! And It DID help as well...

dont tell me that you hate fruit flies! They are so pretty and harmless...

Thanx for your advice!

I think you 've just crossed the line there... but it's ok.
I always rationalise my views. ie. my views on flies.
And about your sly comment on flies and food, I think that pest control can take over whenever you call them to complain about it.

thanx
