my new respect for stingrays - or, how I spent my easter

What do I have in common with Steve Irwin?  We both got stung by a stingray.

Unfortunately it was fatal for Mr Irwin, as he got stung in the heart.

I got stung in the foot, so I was very lucky.  While I had my fair share of poison injected into me - and yes the pain was excruciating - I didn't even need to go to the hospital.  The fellas at the beach took care of me enough for me to go home after an hour or so and not have to worry about anything other than infection.

So anyway, that's how I spent the last half of my Easter long weekend, and that's why I've missed posting recently.  I must say, though, that The Fella was an excellent nurse.

Happy late Easter to everybody!
