Blue Bottles

So if I said blue-bottle would you think of a blue-ish looking large fly or would you think of a jellyfish??

I know! Hello Australia! Bluebottles are jellyfish about the size of the palm of your hand, but with stinging bits that are about a metre long, transparent and only a few millimetres thick. And it'll hurt like hell.

When I went to the beach at the weekend they were EVERYWHERE. It was a risk to go in the water. Luckily I wasn't stung though. But then there were kids frolicking in the water without a care - they bring 'em up tough here - honestly they were inches away from them and they just didn't care! But my boss came into work today and he looked like he'd been garotted - but in fact it was a bluebottle sting. Nice.

In other news, I'm still trying to find a flat and today it's raining.
