There seems to some misunderstanding . I LIKE Glastonbury. Nobody this year made me want to go and catch it on iPlayer but usually there are some. Killers, Foo Fighters, Beyoncé and Travis spring to mind . IMHO it's hard to be overly curmudgeonly about something which only lasts 3 days a year.
Just been to Morrison, 1st time since 1st lockdown, hundreds of plants, all displayed on fancy racks, trees in pots, the whole lot hanging, absolutely dried right out, doubt they could even be resuscitated.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
My daughter indulged her partner by going to The Eagles thing in Hyde Park. She said the performance was suspiciously similar to their recordings but he enjoyed it without suspicion. Maybe that's the way to go. Get on stage with your zimmer frame and mime😊 Off to check out who zimmer was.
There must be a fat and prosperous spider living above my bedroom window - outside fortunately. I'm forever cleaning off bits of insects . Hoping they're mosquitoes or gnats. The weird thing is, I keep finding dessicated woodlice too. Why would they crawl to to the first floor? Do some spiders hunt prey and bring it home?
I regularly find Woodlice indoors - upstairs and down but I keep a lot of indoor plants so often in the compost ( I assume ). Old house tho and no DPC plus a cellar which is damp in places and the odd roof leak. They tend to stroll about but presumably if they can't find any food, they die and wouldn't take much to dry out. Never seen any of my indoor spiders go for them but can't say for sure that they wouldn't. Not seen any remains in their webs.

I once read a paper that suggests the name of 'tecticolous' should be applied to any creature or plant that lives on the roofs of buildings. This along with 'synanthropic' are two of my favourite pretentious words to drop into reports now to make it sound like I know what I'm talking about. Spend some time on roofs though and you'll find out that they often support quite a rich diversity of life. Just ask the jackdaws who pick all the moss off mine in search of creepy crawlies. My point being that woodlice crawl down as well as up.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
