Lots of small Moths indoors, this year... 

Yeah, I've noticed a large amount of moths this summer as well.

[Steve J]

In complete contrast, very few moths in the bathroom this year. Normally we have to keep the window closed or just ajar to keep them out.

Wouldn't mind a few moths....Currently being driven mad by a young buzzard, flying around Techno Towers, screaming "Feed me, feed me".
Mummy and Daddy have obviously decided that it's time it fended for itself.

This is Techno...currently under a hosepipe ban*. (I mean WHAT ?)

Cheers - Phil. *..The ban will make NO difference to me and Von...Only thing a hosepipe gets used for here, is to fill water troughs...and that doesn't count.

I did wonder how you would cope watering the menagerie.

You mean to say you don't have a perfectly manicured lawn surrounded with Begonias?

Mark....My dear friend ....Our 'lawn' is still very green, and really quite 'lush'.

What we've noticed is that the 7 (garbage) acres we've got, over the road (Part of a SSSI) is SO amazingly dry, I could easily walk on it with my trainers. Normally I'd need waders to play 'bog hopping' there.

Over the road from us, is one of the two sources of the river Cleddau.....that source is virtually gone, like the source of Thames.

Cheers - Phil.

I wonder how long it will take certain certain members of our esteemed forum to realise that they've been blocked by everyone

They can still post...but no-one will be able to see what they've posted.

And there I was thinking it was just that my posts were so boring nobody bothered to reply

Is that done by the Forum admins then? 'Cos I don't think I've blocked anyone. Didn't even know you could?

Me neither.  I hope they've been told.

Wouldn't mind a few moths

Was just sitting in my garden watching a couple of Humming-bird Hawk-moths.  Lovely creatures.

The Tang masters are coming along nicely.

So that's why nobody responds to my posts!

[Steve J]

We see them now and then and they are a joy to watch.

So... took Dog out of Front door, instead. Then put out canned Meat...
WHY do WE do this?? Hour later.. meat gone... good luck Girl!

Apples are beginning to drop in our lower lot. Each evening the deer come down off the mountain and gobble them up. This creates quite a stir amongst the neighborhood dogs, which upsets the cats. So far no one has taken a shot at them, deer, dogs or cats.

The rabbits hide in the brambles through it all and the squirrels throw acorns at everybody. The birds have roosted and remain indifferent.

Some friends are already harvesting Blackberries... but UK 'Blackberry Week' should be early October!
Wild Brambles do not seem to be ripe yet... so maybe garden crops?
Mention of Apples got me thinking of Halloween... supermarkets will soon start stacking up rubbish! But... this IS August...isn't it?
Cornfields getting cut and Willowherb starting to go to seed... so must be!
But! I see Remembrance Day Poppies  already appearing on shop counters... Fine by Me... but what?
Am I in some sort of Time Warp?   

LOL! I've just checked today's Date on Google!
