I just take a daily anti-histamine and that sorts out the worst of it and also helps reduce reactions to bites from the kind of fly that feeds on warm blooded critters such as me, horses and cattle but not OH.
I assume you occasionally mention to him that this probably means he's actually a lizard? Or a dinosaur?

Right. This is totally curmudgeonly and definitely ungrateful.
If a person wants to give you a present of alcohol, why don't they give you a really good bottle of wine - costing more than you would spend on yourself? You could enjoy it when you normally would drink a lesser wine.
Instead, they give you a bottle of champagne which takes up valuable space in the fridge waiting for an 'occasion' . You fancy a glass of wine but can't justify opening the bottle. And I'm not that keen on fizzy wine anyway
Maybe they had a bottle of fizz just waiting in their fridge for someone to give it to ? I’ve got one of those .... 💡 maybe it’s the same bottle offizz ... going around and around, being passed from one person to another by folk who’d really rather have a bottle of Haut Medoc, Sancerre. Muscadet sur lie or Picpoul ... just like me 🍷

In the 70s it was a bottle of dubonnet. I reckon there were only a half dozen in existence and they wandered from party to party. Still sitting there forlorn as even the homemade wine was drunk while the cigarette packets were shaken to see if somebody had missed one lurking in the corner of the packet and leonard cohen droned mournfully in the background.
I had a bottle of champagne once as a gift, I kept it for several years, never in the fridge. We did finally find an occasion and drunk it all in the night.

A lot of my garden is self seeded. For obvious reasons most of them have gone over now. My garden is a spring garden. I love it when plants burst into life. Summer gardening seems to be more about just keeping things alive.
