    Is there any food smell more disgusting than the smell of someone else's toasted cheese sandwich?
    It's quite different when it's your own of course.
    The cat we had when I was a child (1960's) was fed mostly on horsemeat which we bought raw from a family-run shop.  We boiled it - after dinner when we'd all retired to the front room with our tea.  It smelt pretty awful while it was cooking, but worse still on the odd occasion when it was forgotten and boiled dry. 
    Surely it smelt even worse when it " came back out"?

    I'm getting bored with watering.
     Note: 'with' not ' of'.
    I've never been bored of anything in my life.

    Where are all the bees? I've got three (every house needs three) duteseers  Jutesias juteseers deutzias in  bloom that normally buzz with the sound of the bees, and I've been outside next to one of them today and not one bee buzzed me on its way to forage. What?! Why?!

    Theyre all here @steveTu ... the hardy geraniums are positively noisy and there are others looking very busy buzzing around a couple of old screw holes in the house wall.

    Maybe somebody's planted something they prefer. I've got quite a lot in bloom, but they still head straight for the manky,well past its best pulmonaria

    ...but I want my bees back....I don't want them holidaying in Norfolk...haven't they heard of covid and the travel restrictions? I'm their 'one other person' ... They're just so, so fickle. I hope they wipe their feet when they get back..

    Loads of bees of all sorts here including some really tiny ones. The bee hotels have never been so busy.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Mine has been pretty much ignored.

    They’re not interested in our new hotel either .., but they seem to manage ok without.
