Bug protection gone wrong

Moth attack

The weather has been incredible the last month here in Bergen. I have been wearing my 20 DKK over-sized sunglasses a lot lately, even though I actually hate wearing sunglasses. I have even been using them at night to keep the bugs away when biking. But a moth with cruel intentions made me realise that sunglasses for bug protection is a very bad idea…

While I was biking home recently, a moth flew in behind the glass. Trapped inside the glass, it attacked my eye over and over. I was so shocked and distracted that I just fell over!

Yes, I completely see the irony in this event and my oh so clever bug protection theory. I try to laugh of the whole episode. But I also try to sit straight, and it kind of hurts. I am so badly bruised that I probably should avoid wearing a bikini for a month or so. Good thing that I am leaving this casual student/BBQ/park/swim life style any minute now to go back to work at the Logica office - all covered up in appropriate office outfits. No bikes or sunglasses are needed there :)
