Dark choc suggestive bikit please, or custard cream or plain suggestive biscuit, so kind!

I've got these chocolate suggestive biskit bar things. One of those ok? Otherwise it's rafer wolls filled with vanilla...

Nice view of the partial lunar eclipse at the mo... Just about to be cloud covered.

Lucky you. It's cloudy here, so no chance of seeing any of it.

Strong with one teaspoon of sugar, thank you.

This one do?

Morning. Another lovely sunny start to the day .

They are talking about the Moon and the Moon landing this morning from the National Spice Centre. I have often seen the signs pointing to it on the M1and thought that we must visit it one day .

Whereabouts is this, or do I just follow my nose?

(sorry for the multiple incomming posts, but I've only just made it to this thread)

Sounds a bit energetic for retirement.

That would be a slow day for some on the retirement thread.

It's corn bug day here. Swarms of the wee tickly things while I was out on the bike earlier...

If they're the little bu**ers also known as thunderflies, then I may have helped quite a few colonies migrate from Cambridgeshire to Suffolk this afternoon. Odly, there weren't any at all once I was out of the fenland area

Indeed.. Thunderbugs! Horrible itchy things.

 

[Reynard]

Yup, thunderflies, corn bugs, same difference... Either way, they're a right pain. And with a propensity for getting *everywhere*

Mind, another fortnight and they'll be gone. You don't see them once the wheat is harvested.

Just wait for the pollen beetles - don't wear yellow!

LOL! There are always loads of them in the daffodils in the spring.

The only yellow item of clothing I possess is a pair of socks, so I don't think I'm in too much danger.

You want to be careful of the local, to me, midges. There can be frost or snow on the ground and they're still about.

Even Scots have moaned about them!

Oddly enough, for all the still / slow flowing water that's around here, midges aren't a problem.

Summer or Winter?

Neither.
