Tam &Toby do Europe ...Take two

[Onemanandhisdog]

Tubular bandage?

No, it's clearly gone too far, amputation is the only solution!

A prosthetic with a permanently attached bright green Croc is the way forward!

@monzer
I get the feeling that if you could operate the catapult with a remote control you would be sat in a recliner with a G+T while the dog ran his legs off.

Wow, you're good. How on earth did you know I've just ordered a catapult remote control and a recliner from ebay? Paid a hell of a lot more than Tam for them to

In all seriousness I enjoy getting the small bit of exercise to and Sherpa on the whole is well trained just the ball thing needs fine tuned I reckon.

 

[monzer]

Please be careful throwing sticks Eddie's dad had a beautiful Alsation (Flash) one day as he did he threw a stick for her she jumped to catch it went in her throat and killed her it was horrible
I'll never forget it.

We were just speaking about that the other day. If the stick lands the wrong way on the ground you can see how it would be possible. Such a shame for Flash.

@monzer 1ok, sorry,I was maybe a bit harsh, just get more involved in the bringing it back to you part, make that bit a fun game between the two of you.

Where I you staying in Benicassim?
The Aire is a bit noisy & the dog pound behind it will set Jade & Milo off.

At the minute I'm parked in the layby on the sea front with 2 other campers , I used the aire for servicing this morning, don't think I'll stay here overnight I'll probably stop in castellon for the weekend

 

[busby]

I've took a chunk of skin out my foot just behind my wee toe...man it bloody stings

Can hardly walk


It's all that bugger jades fault View attachment 305297

Pin prick..BUSBY

 

[busby]

Yes I've had it In the sea the problem is getting from the sea back to somewhere dry to put a shoe on without getting it full of sand.You needed proper foot wear not Jesus Boots..BUSBY.

It was jades fault as after their walk yesterday where both had been scavenging on the beach Milo threw up everywhere last night , so this morning when out jade was trying to eat something on the beach and wouldn't drop it ....I ran after her to get it from her and my sandal dug in and fell off and I cut my foot on a stone.

She's in the bad books

I've only managed to walk 7km today because of it and I'm trying to lose my belly

 

[busby]

What a clever idea why didn't I think of that lol.

8 f'in plasters I've had on it today they just fall off , I'm tired of cleaning the damm thing.

I'm not grumpy I just mentioned it because it's blooming sore

Insulation tape is much better.BUSBY.

[Mr porky]

Seconded for insulation tape.we carry a roll of blue insulation tape in our first aid box as the official blue plasters are useless.

 

[Trixie]

Just to remind you Tam it’s bank holiday coming up this weekend and schools break up so it could get quite busy where you are.

Find a quiet spot !!!!!!

 

[Reallyretired]

Cohesive bandage. We keep several in the dogs first aid box. It sticks to itself but not to the dogs foot, or in this case yours. Its almost like a plaster cast and wont fall off, enough layers you won't even need a shoe. Available in many cheerful colours.

 

[Northernraider]

Jeeso I thought midgies were bad but mosquitos are ten times worse...I've woke up to 13 bites on me in various places from legs to my ass to under my arm, my hands , shoulders ...I'm itchy as hell

This is the downside to having to take dogs out for a last pee at night as I'm guessing that's when the buggers get in the van.

I've a huge can of mosquito spray but I'm unsure if it's harmful to breath in ....instructions are in Spanish

I don't want to poison myself or the dogs but this is ridiculous.

I also need to get something from the pharmacy to put on bites as I'm scratching the skin off myself

TCP is my go to relief for mozzy bites but have never seen it for sale in Spain, or anywhere else in Europe so always carry some, good for sore throats(gargling)........efficacious in every case

I wouldn't worry about the mozzy spray unless you are sniffing it, get some of the stuff to apply to your skin as well, roll on or small spray.

Not in Spain

 

[Janine]

I feel for you - I’m covered in midge bites. They tell you to apply stuff to exposed areas of skin and then the little blighters get you everywhere else.

Antihistamine tablets are good as well as cream.

 

[Lenny HB]

Antihistamine tablets are good as well as cream.

If in an area with loads of mozzies take one a day after a few days you won't know you have been bitten, kills the swelling & itching before it starts.

 

[Val 3 dogs]

As a temporary measure to relieve the itching apply toothpaste to the individual bites

Gas the van with it & then go for a walk.

'Amoniaco' floor cleaner in a surpemarket . As labelled it is ammonia & the same as the "afterbite" pens. You can also use it for jelly fish stings & as smelling salts as they have stopped production of the McKenzie ones due the the ammonia in them.

Have you an inverter? If so get a mosquito thing that plugs in .either electric or with the little 'pastillas' ( can't think of the english word) all I use if I get one at home or in van.

Where were you ten days ago?
I put my foot in an ants nest whilst out walking. They were not pleased! Their bites have been driving me crazy, I have the remains of a bottle of a bottle of Amoniaco in my cupboard that I inherited with the place To hell with cleaning the floors.

 

[pollensabob]

I use a electric fly mosquito killer “The Executioner” wouldn’t be without it, very effective and easy to use, about £14 on Amazon.

 

[Northernraider]

I've now acquired a spray repellent , never thought about the plug in one and I looked at them too but so used to never using anything electric I forgot I had the inverter lol

Good tip with the floor cleaner I'll get some of that next time I'm in mercadona.

I've discovered even more bites .....I must have about 25 of the buggers


I need to stock up on the anti histamine tablets too...as I'm gonna be all scars otherwise

 

[Northernraider]

It's a bit late to worry if the mosquitos teeth were clean after it's bit me

 

[Just smiffy]

I really seem to suffer from Mossi bites since I gave up smoking 5yrs ago, I put on a plug-in killer with the inverter on at night time....

Couple of years ago I had the tiger mossies in France have a go....

We dab antibacterial hand gel on insect bites. It works a treat.

Was that a horse fly?

 

[Just smiffy]

Was that a horse fly?

No, I had a few, on my hands, on the ends of my stumps and they itched like crazy...

 

[TM59]

Look on the positive side, mossi bites will take your mind of the sore foot.
