Hosta......ouch, but the crabs joke was a bit below the belt
Hi all....have been at the clinic again and again with my BH ....Ob , I brought some reading material this time ....thought I would do my James Joyce stuff again , it seems to make more sense when you are older ....finally we got back out to the dacha ....after the halcyon 'day' last week of >30 degrees .....we are now back to what feels like 10 degrees outside .......temperature swings here can be so debilitating .......looking forward to hearing about your weekend adventures
Dove, it was definitely underwater, maybe a foot down?
Not sore now . I've been a very brave boy.
Right, For the first time since we moved here: I've had the rowing boat out to the island on the lake. I reckon it's a project which need doing asap before the brambles take over. The weed on the surface was/ is so bad I had to stand up and use the rowing boat like a paddle board. My theory is if I go out often enough, I should break up the tangle of weed a bit.

Sorry for that image Pat.
I need to clarify the sting was on my hand as I was scooping up weed to chuck onto the side.
Tee hee. I shouldn't have doubted you Hosta.
Crabs?
But maybe dragonfly larva.

Hi just a quick note for Liro
we grow autumn rasps here as they seem to do better at being independent!!
sadly cant tell you the variety as we were gifted them from an old garden

LP- autumn rasps seem to do well up here so may be a good choice for Liri's daughter in Ireland.
Miserable, damp and cold here today. Same with you?
Absolutely, rain has been relentless Joyce

Hosta ... was any of the weed on the surface of the water ... wasps often sit on water weed to take a drink. Hope it's not too sore
Right, I'm back with an even shorter haircut and a curl 'in the middle of my forehead'

A desperate drowning wasp???
I've just done some googling ... while I don't think this is what got you Hosta, has anyone come across this http://www.webmd.boots.com/travel/guide/blandford-fly-bite-symptoms
Apparently it lives here in Norfolk as well as elsewhere !!!
