At a geology camp someone put another log on the fire. . .out came a big ugly centipede only to fall on the hot coals and burned in a second. Guy who had put the log on was a bit shaken.
Seriously, you want to hear a centipede story. ?
So this happened years ago, but ever burned into my memory.
I was wearing those dorkie open walking things.. velcro everywhere , so they were strapped on.
I was doing something down by my wee shed, probably moving fallen wood, or such, when I felt something I'd never felt before. !! A NEW experience.
Something quite cold and slick slid in between my toes to the arch of my foot and !! it wriggled ..
Oh my goodness me..
I didn't know what it was but I didn't want it there. ! I lifted my leg and tried to open space between the sole of my foot and the sandals, and shook it out. ! When it landed it was a very large dark reddish-brown centipede ,,
EEK......
it didn't bite me 'cos I felt it and didn't hurt it.. I think it had no idea either where it found itself and was glad to escape.
Happy to say we parted company .. no issues on either side.
Must say it did convince me that Boots are a good idea.. but I still find myself wandering around, not in strapped-on sandals, but in thongs, flip-flops or even jandals... just to clarify that. .
