    Morning all - slightly better here for now regarding the high winds and rain - for now thankfully. Not sure the ferries will be running for Liri though. The sea will be rough....  image

    The travels haven't altered Edd's sense of humour I see image

    I've had worse presents than pans though. I don't mind those sorts of things - I'm practical, don't really care for fripperies anyway! In fact, since C*******s is coming, there's a waterproof cover for my rucksack I could do with...image

    There must be a lot of flies in those Pat  image

    Off for a quick look to catch up before I go to work image

    Fly traps emptied image, new clean water and bait in. We live in fly heaven, here.(both blowflies and those irritating little bush flies that try to crawl into your eyes, nose and mouth.) there were also European wasps drowned in there.image Me no complain!image

    What do you put in them as bait Pat? I'm almost frightened to ask....image

    Morning all.

    Just been out and it is so warm outside, shame it is so grey and miserable looking.

    Elbow allowing I shall be cutting back some of the most floppy perennials. Like to try and leave some stuff for the critters to over winter.

    Keep taking the tablets Edd.

    Fairygirl - I use fly trap bait which comes in sachets - trying not to laugh here. image

    It is for sale in the hardware shops along with the traps. They also sell sachets of wasp bait.  If you are serious, I can have a look at the list of ingredients for you, but I suspect you don't really want to know. I don't think you have anything like our fly problem in your climate. I'm envious. image

    Feel much better after my cuppa ....might need a secondimage

    Hope your elbow is feeling better pdoc - at least you will be out there for a bit.  I haven't cut anything back yet.  I find that it looks dreadful for a couple of weeks, but if you can shut your eyes to it then it all gets crispy amd quite magical.  Since I am normally at work in November daylight hours, that's quite easy for meimage

    Lesley has scared me with her talk of C*****s shopping ......does that mean I need to start making a listimage
