What's on your agenda for today?

Good thing about the deserts of Arizona. We have almost no flying pests here. The spray for mosquitoes and with the heat I guess the others find greener pastures. In my ten years here, not one insect bite.

I'm allergic to mosquito and midge bites and they swell up. Or used to. When I started taking antihistamines for allergies a few years ago they find me less tasty, and I don't react nearly as much. I wish I had known this before we went to live in Uganda and be tortured with mosquitoes for 2 years! If I had taken antihistamines I wouldn't have suffered. I discovered on a return visit in 2013 when I only got about 8 bites in 4 weeks instead of 8 bites in 8 minutes!

I keep antihistamines in the house in case of a bee sting. It will make the bee sting mute in moments. Bee's inject a Histamine when they sting.

Yes, as do mosquitoes. My kids have a cousin who is allergic to bees. He will die if he doesn't get two different medicines within a few minutes, so carries them all the time.
 
Yum is right, your companion is lovely. :) As a teenager, I remember blueberry pie being one of my favorite pies, I've never had it combined with cream cheese like that, it looks really interesting. You people are really bad for my missing waistline.

When I first moved to the UK my husband would ask me sometimes if I wanted a pudding when we ate out. I thought he was talking about the creamy chocolate puddings like in the US. Figured out it meant dessert. My family still thinks it's weird. :D

I am anxious for the weather to get back to what it was last week. I'm itching for some more long bike rides and we have several routes picked out - areas I've never been before like this one:

Doing a home workout today. Housework.
 
Late night here on the left coast, bed soon. After gardening in the morning, due to our unheard of temps, 85 degrees in June, I will be attempting to master skateboarding, although with some trepidation. Housework, perhaps some reading.
