I awoke feeling fine today which was a relief.
We continued on from yesterday. I mixed up some more woody weed killer and went to the gully below the dam. After lounging around in the grass cutting and daubing lantana to my surprise I saw a tick crawling on my trousers. Susan came over and between us we must have removed fifteen from my trousers and t shirt. I retired up to the house and checked my clothes by removing them. I sprayed them and me liberally with tropical strength Aerogard. Back down at the dam I took my t shirt off and found one more crawling inside.

We returned to our tasks me on the lantana avoiding the long grass and Susan stripping the seeds from the paspalum grass so we can slash it. The rest of the day passed without incident. However at the table outside before tea another one was strolling down my arm hopefully groggy from the spray. After my shower I examined my self closely in the mirror but could detect no passengers. I think the tactic in future will be Aerogard from the start of the day!
We had a nice batch of curries for tea. We are being exceptionally well fed.
