This is an important one...relaxing or gardening with a drink, you turn to take another sip and theres a fly it - how are you avoiding these catastrophes?

    It's been a long while, and I suspect it will be a good while longer, since I had the chance to spend Tuesday lunchtime sat in the garden drinking wine :#  I can't even enjoy a cup of tea in the garden without having to pick a Duplo brick out of it at some point.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Is it worth experimenting with G&T, perhaps it repels flies..? 😀

    It's worth a try @JoeX and is even safer ... more alcohol against any germs 👍

    You could strain the wine through your teeth.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Hmm...Gardeners with a drinking problem or drinkers with a gardening problem? 😉😉
