Writing is proving difficult as I have no ideas at the moment.

In N.Ireland, this "summer" has been atrocious Eric. The grass, hedges and shrubs loved it and grow with abandon since I cant get enough dry days to deal with them.
Cutting wet grass is really unpleasant but it was the only way. I cant remember when the grass was nice and dry!
Anyway, it gives you more time to do what you really seem to love - writing!

Had the booster and flu jabs last week. Also had the anti-pneumonia one.
To a large extent I have given up on the garden. There is little pleasure in it these days.

I'll have a read over the link over the next few days (more football etc - the young uns!!)
I'm sure you spent a lot of time gardening as well during Covid!
Did you manage to escape it?
We did until 4 weeks ago. I caught it first from a visit to hospital and of course Mary then caught it as well.
We both had had our boosters 2 weeks prior to that so it seems that made it less severe.
I got over it quickly but Mary took a chest infection and needed an antibiotic. She is over the chest infection but is still very weak.

General discussion / Re: Ants
« Last post by ideasguy on October 12, 2023, 10:49:15 AM »2023 and this year the Ant population has definitely multiplied!
Gardening is downright unpleasant for people (like me) who have to get down on hands and knees to weed a HIGH maintenance garden with many flower borders and beds.
They have an amazing ability to get over my hands and arms (if not spotted in time) in no time!
The ones that get up the inside of arms and leg clothing are vicious!
It used to be they preferred the edges very close to tarmac and under bigger stones on the surface. This year they appear randomly everywhere.
I couldn't believe it when I dug my first stalk of potatoes this year and there they were, teeming all over the freshly dug soil.
Roll up the sleeves for protection and get on with it!
