They were Everywhere! 1


A strong contingent of idiots appeared for roll call this morning. Linda was on hand to welcome Rob, Richard, Stephen, Dave, Chris, Judy and Dave. A strong nor’easter was blowing and rain pelted us as we stood around the wishing well waiting for the skies to lighten.

Linda passed on the news that Janice had been stung around the neck and wrist by dreaded bluebottles. Tony mentioned being mauled by sea lice. Um, Tony, did you happen to see what was on the beach? Probably not as it was too dark.

Dave, Chris, Judy and I headed down to the beach to check for signs of the nasty blighters. With Judy’s miners light shining the way, evidence  was easy to find. There were thousands littered up and down the beach. Some swimmers from the dark side came jogging past and mentioned swimming through a lot of bluebottles when they came around the island. Ouch!

Wisely, the idiot collective decided not to swim today.

Judy, Chris, and Dave walked around to Deadman’s to check out the conditions. Thousands of bluebottles around there too. Chris warned one woman of the dangers but she still went in.

Peter and Meryl sent this lovely snap of their swimming hole at Sanctuary Cove. I know where I would rather be.

 


About Dave

Dave has been an idiot for longer than he can remember. However, his Real Idiot status was confirmed about 20 years ago when Linda and Bevan coaxed him out to the post. Developer and administrator of this website as well as reporter, photographer, and chief spell-checker. Thankfully, other idiots contribute to the site to keep it interesting...
