For those of you not around at this time of the year because of some poxy excuse such as living it up in Hawaii, London, or even the Gold Coast, you missed action aplenty on Saturday afternoon. A strong nor’easter was blowing bringing with it a few bluebottles. Not only had they washed up on the beach but they could also be spied in the water.
Big scaredy-cat Dave opted not to venture in and viewed the drama unfolding before his eyes.
You know when you watch someone swimming out to the post and expect a collision any moment? A woman was swimming breast-stroke near the cones, no doubt enjoying the peace and tranquillity, when suddenly her body reacted violently to a bluebottle sting. At the same time, closer to shore, another woman was experiencing the same reaction.
The woman closer to shore had the stinger wrapped around her back and waist and upon standing, the bluebottle was still hanging off her arm! The woman further out had copped the stinger around her neck and shoulders! I feel their pain. Check out the photos of these bad boys and count your lucky stars that you were elsewhere 😆
