Took the woofers and to a "Horse and Dog Exercise Area" North of Trigg. The Hairy_peril nobly tried to defend the car from poor Bosworth and found herself travelling on a very short leash. It also turns out we have small dogs. Yes. Small.

Also saw a lot of bluebottles washed up on the shore. This one is sans tentacles. Painful things to accidentally touch with a bare toe. My Dalmation Cleo stuck her nose in one years ago and was a very sorry woofer.

how very bizarre. I wonder why I've never seen one ....
I guarantee, that I have spent just as many hours on and in the water as you have.

I've never seen one while swimming - although there was the painful down_the_bathers incident when I was 16 - usually I see them washed up on the shore after storms.
