Hope you get the ear sorted, Clari... hate earache!
Yvie, have you got a fireplace in your lounge? We had bluebottles last year, which turned out to be emerging from the open dampers in the wood burner. I just let them out of the window whenever I saw them - they flew towards the light, anyway - and eventually they stopped coming.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
So Obelixx, I put the notice on the fridge and it is inspirational, sadly the premise is flawed especially this week.
Why did the Nadal match go on so long, and the suspense, barely able to leave the TV and here's the problem. I don't keep the tortilla chips in the fridge, five hours is a long time should have stayed in the garden and glowed it off!

Herby - You also have to stop buying crisps, chocolate, biscuits and other fatty snackies! Get yourself some carrot sticks and hummus or tzatziki instead.
LP - so pleased you've found a real eye man. Clari - hope you get your ear sorted and you too Pat for your lurgy. Not good.
Joyce - good to have rellies over. Hope you're OK. Cosmos has progressed to bird hunting. He sits under the feeder looking innocent and waits for them to come to him. Now they know he's a dingbat they tease him at the peanut feeders.
Busy - I hope you had a lovely lunch at DD's. Busy times ahead for you too.
Chicky and co at Kew - looking forward to photos.
Feeling a bit crook here - head and colly wobbles and the head won't go away. Might go and lie down again. I have manfully made 2 pairs of shorts for Possum and added pockets and belt loops to the second. What a hero. No gardening till head better as bending over brings on the wobbles.
Catch up later.

Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
We had a lovely lunch at DD's, sitting on the terrace. I had a chicken salad and a glass of wine followed by tea and fruit cake and OH had an excellent ploughman's, which came with a pork pie as well, Cheddar, Stilton, pickle, English mustard and salad. He had a glass of wine then Earl Grey tea.
After that we had a look around the town. I never realised there was a pretty, old town, I've only driven through the middle or the bypass on my way to somewhere else.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Roof on the centre court Dove, NO roof on my conservatory, blokes said they would be finnished today, I went out, couldnt stand being here, they HAVE put a tarp over the "roof" this time, BUT there are completely open side panels, no glass etc. No-where near finnished. been raining on and off all day, dont need to water the garden, BUT have to try and sqeeze past the mountain of glass to water veg on leanto greenhouse. The other side, they have put one of the old side panels, I cannot close the gate, so I cant let the dogs out grrrrr!!!!!

Sorry you are feeling crook, Obelixx.
Obelixx, a strange cat appeared in the garden this morning and the birds made such a racket that it didn't stay around for long. Cosmos can but dream.
I've been pottering and sitting in the garden watching the birds at the feeders just like Cosmos.
