A Sting In The Tail.

Hello everyone, how are you today? Bob has had another bad day, I think I'm just going to stay in bed tomorrow but the way things are going at the moment the bed will probably collapse or something. I woke this morning to pouring rain but I still take the dogs out because they don't seem to mind but because it was raining I put on my woolly hat that had been hangin' in the porch since the last time it was raining which is quite a while now. All of a sudden I started to feel something sharp keep sticking in my head, so eventually I took of my hat only to discover a wasp in it, the darn thing had stung me in the head, it felt like I'd been hit in the head with an axe. I tell you what though, it doesn't half wake you up in a morning!! I'm not sure why but I looked inside the hat just to be sure there were no more and good thing I did too cos there were four more wasps inside, it was really creepy. So they joined their mate on the wooden dogfood box in the porch to await execution. I don't like killing things but boy did I savour that moment!

Five squished wasps.

I found this tonight when I was looking through some things, its a news paper cutting from 1962, its of the first house that I ever lived in, to see the article you will need to click on it, if that doesn't work let me know and I will do it so you can read the writing. I don't want to go to the trouble of copying it out if you can read it okay without.

With it being wet most of the day I've spent it messing around in the greenhouse and potting shed. I made another Sempervivum ball so that I have one for each side of the door in winter. Of course I stayed behind after work and did this.

To answer your question Elaine, yes for sure I do intend posting here as often as possible, this is my blog now and it will be better than the old one.

Well you know what they say Merle, small things amuse small minds!

Yes Jeanette I did get your message thanks, and thanks too for everyone elses.

Kimmie, Can you tell me what part of Scotland Uncle Fred comes from as I've been to many places in Scotland which is my most fav place to visit after the Peak District.

Best Wishes,

Bob.
