    @wild edges - I'm surprised @Hostafan didn't pick you up on  that statement :  ' Well I popped around to the neighbour's house and returned with a bulging nut sack.'    :D 
    I simply came over all faint 
    Devon.

    I think it may have been Wild Edges bulging nut sack that led to his sleepless nights.

    Hostafan, However did you survive in Scotland as a child/young man! 😀
    We are both hot morsels at nights, very thin duvet, just the cover in the really hot weather, window wide open and still up half the night making tea, toast, reading.
    you need a nice warm flannel gown and cap.

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I'm currently on a 6 month waiting list to get that sorted out  :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Another 20+ weevils tonight. No sign of an end to them yet. I'm still enjoying nights in the garden though with an almost full moon tonight and noisy owls to keep me entertained. I think I also caught 2 mice getting frisky by the cold frames. They ran in separate directions with one going almost over my shoe. I hope I didn't interupt anything :#
    I also think I caught the new neighbour watching me from a darkened window. I can't blame them for wondering what the heck I'm up to out there though.

    No need to wait 6 months, I’m sure Dove and I can sort that out for you. 😱😄
    I really do admire you for that though,  really is a sign of a ‘green Man’.

    I've got some spare bricks for @wild edges Lyn.  ;)

    It's ok @HouseFinch - I'll sort that. It's weeing down again today so I can't get out to play.  >:)
