I am so sick of these flaming earwigs!! They have taken up residence in my storage boxes so my fleeces and netting have become their homes, and their favourite hidey spot is in the zips of my pop up greenhouse so I get them on me every day when I unzip it! 🤮🤮🤮
It's delish @B3. No buns, just lots of salad veggies.
Funnily enough I've hardly seen any earwigs here, not even in the dahlias.  Sounds like you need a good shake out @spookess and maybe hang it all up to air for a while.
I was really annoyed yesterday to recieve a page long letter from my area medical centre in town informing me I would have to drive to the Eden Project for my flu jab as the centre doesn't have facilities for safe distancing. I had to book a place on the drive thru to book my jab, on line or by phone. Expect long delays before getting an answer and let needy friends and neighbours go first. They also said the vaccine is in short supply and once their supply had run out, reserved for needy cases, they would not be getting any more vaccine in. The system has been organised by NHS Kernow Clinical Commissioning Group. Talk about passing the buck! Fortunately I had booked myself a slot at a small village chemist much nearer than the Eden Project, went for it yesterday afternoon. What if I had no inter net, had hearing problems for using the phone, didn't drive. etc. etc.I am over 70, have looked after myself all the way through shutdown, made no requests for help from anyone, kept myself to myself to avoid contact, worn my face mask, kept myself busy with gardening etc. to keep myself occupied and in previous years have only had to go a quarter of a mile to my local medical centre for my jab. I feel really peed off seeing my medical centre standing empty when I drive past. I stopped there to make my appoinment but was not allowed to go inside, only to be used for collecting prescriptions. Grrh! Humph!
I feel better now I have off loaded
I am going out to stamp in puddles, and there are a lot of puddles to stamp in today.
I had my flu jab at the GP surgery on Saturday. My appointment was at 8:34, but when arrived about 10 minutes before that time there was a huge queue and the doors were still closed. I expected to be there for ages, but the staff came out, confirmed appointments, stuck blue or red labels on us (no idea of the meaning) and then started to allow people in. Long story short, I was back out just after 8:35. Actually very well organised although I'm sure many would have been extremely p'd off at having to wait for the place to open if it was cold or raining.
Had mine done at local pharmacy, Â no queue I listened to the first pop master in the car and was out to hear the second one. I think the coloured labels may be for the different jabs, old or vulnerable get a different one to younger people. @Joyce Goldenlily. Do you live In St A or would you have needed to travel.

I don't understand why some surgeries have closed, ours have been open for face to face if needed, although they are doing telephone triage first. OH has just been in for a blood test, no problem. Ours is in an old Georgian building with small waiting room and only one staircase so if they can open, others most certainly can. Methinks it's time to jump up and down @Joyce Goldenlily and not only in puddles. Get your local paper involved, nothing like adverse publicity to change people's minds.
I have never considered the possible therapeutic value of jumping in puddles, but there must be some reason why children love it so much. Today we have the requisite weather, so I may go out and try it after lunch.
There was a cat hiding in the garden when I let the dog out last night. It panicked and tried to escape through all my potted plants. This is part of the trail of destruction. At least the dog didn't hurt himself
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
