WASPS

Some people have a thing about wasps, and some are allergic to their stings. Basically, I don't have a problem with them.

Having said that, I was stung by one on my upper lip yesterday, which was not very pleasant. It was trying to get into the can of beer that I was drinking at the time, when I noticed it and very nearly ate it. My lip swelled up, but then went down again after a couple of hours.

What was most interesting about this event is that it took place while I was sitting in a canoe in the middle of Kolding Fjord. I have no idea what a wasp would be doing out there in the middle of a September afternoon, but there it was.
