Talking about nature: we had an injury yesterday during the gig. Can I remind everyone that everyone is responsible for their own actions and that at no stage I will assume any responsibility for either your physical or mental health. Anyway, about the injury, this involved Marcel being attacked by a ferocious ant! Marcel is expected to make a speedy recovery, but if you feel so inclined, flowers can be delivered to me on Thursday's rehearsal and I'll make sure they end up with Marcel one way or another. Please check any flowers for ants though.
On a related matter: a snake got attacked by Dale, and due to lack of anti-Dale venom the snake unfortunately doesn't live to tell...

Indeed, fellow Sambistas, I’m in a terrible state. The ants were vicious – I guess Maracatu is just not their thing. Or maybe they were African Killer Ants, and this was actually their thing. I can’t tell you in what state my foot is currently, since it’s all wrapped up in bandages and protective gear. The doctors look really worried whenever they take a look at it, and whenever I ask them anything, they only offer me very wary looks.
I share a room here with some French Aussie who keeps whining about his back whenever I prod him with my stick to fix me a cold drink. Ah, these French – almost worse than the English! He keeps claiming to have a minor retrolisthosis of the lumbarian vertebrae or something – but I actually think it's a minor lobotomy.
In any case, do indeed send Remko flowers for me, but make sure you include a picture of the bunch as well, as he’s known to keep a flower or two for himself. I think he smokes them. (No Paul, I didn’t.) Ah, these Dutch. Almost worse than the English, I say.
Are you seriously in hospital with an ant bite?
This beats the wasp attack I was subjected to at Remko's place.
