I said I'd frame it...

But seeing as I don't have a frame a small ziploc bag will have to do.

I got my first tick! I would have acquired it sometime this morning but had no idea it was there until I just had a shower. It was on my left hip. I can't even find the mark. I just pulled it out with my fingers and the whole bug came out. He's actually still alive!

I was starting to think I was immune to ticks, seeing how many times I've put myself in places where I should have got ticks but didn't. Seems I was just lucky.

Weird, I was at least expecting to be able to feel it. I've had various usual itches all day and none of them caused by this little blighter.

I feel fully initiated into bush-bashing now.
