    maybe dab them with peanut butter and see if that attracts predators?

    Thankfully we no longer have enough VWs to make a useful training programme (fingers very 🤞) 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I now have visions of Dove's past with Beetles and camper vans  lined up outside her house.

    An insect boot camp @Hostafan1 :D
    I now have a vision of them in little tracksuits, lifting weights and doing circuits to see which ones are the fittest for infiltrating the enemy.
    Wouldn't work though - too expensive for the shoes....

    I'm really, really cross tonight because my repaired laptop was delivered yesterday morning, has been on charge for over 24 hours and zilch... I can't get it to work at all, so presumably the technicians didn't check it over before dispatching it and the battery's completely b......d!   It will have to go back and I'm not paying up this time.

    Let  them have it Lizzie. I ordered a book for my kindle yesterday. As usual 10 minutes later the charge  invoice came through. Then at 1 am another charge came through for audible which I don't use.   I complained by email. An hour later the charge was cancelled, but apparently it will take 10 days until it gets back to my account.

    I was struggling to get into double figure weevils tonight but a late flush got me up to 13. My new neighbours have finally moved in after the old lot moved out in early June so I hope they don't see my skulking about the bushes and think I'm nosing on them.

    I had a close encounter with a mouse and found both the green and brown elephant moth caterpillars.



    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    They really are beauties @wild edges  :)
    They (almost) make up for the weevils......
