..bolving...not heard that term before.

I did a bit of tidying up of a border & moved some self seeded escalonias & vertical cottoneasters? Watched butterflies sunning theirselves on a shrub I don't know the name of & loads of sparrows squabbling away & one balancing on a pampas & robbing the seeds. There's plenty of hips about for the birds as I planted a load of rogusas I snatched from a banking down the road.

The chicks house (who were all eaten the other night) - their house was broken into again last night - nothing in there but feathers, but we had shut it up. It'll keep coming back until its cleaned us out .......

It's probably a local term. There's a Bolving Competition where people imitate the stags (& the stags often answer :cool:). Some are good & others are totally hilarious. They sound like they're being manhandled in private areas :rotfl:
If you can get the Tube this is a relatively serious one

Yes, sadly, once a predator knows where to go they keep coming back. At least that often means that one can "get it".

Nice pictures, IHS.

I forgot to mention that last week, before being aware of the recent coverage about False Black Widow spiders, I had an unusually shiny black spider appear in the door frame on the van. I didn't like the look of it, mainly because it was 'different,' so instead of picking it up, I pushed it outside using a roll of kitchen paper.

That was all. Never gave it another thought until I started reading the stories:

Bearing in mind that we don't live in a particularly mild place, I wonder whether the spider (if correctly identified) had come from somewhere milder, like Bournemouth. The van was there the week before, parked up under trees for a couple of hours.

Perhaps your laptop was excited by the bolving? Maybe it was trying to answer back? :cool:

Or maybe you just hit the wrong You Tube button and got the White Stripes?

We regularly get enormous black (& sometimes brown, spiders), Dave. They aren't the False Widow as their bodies are long not round & there's no purple on them. They do bite, though.
Here's pic link. I haven't put the pic up so those who get scared of 8-legged beasties don't have a fit.

Three prints of views of Iona by S J Peploe bought off t'Bay arrived, so will be hanging in bedroom which already has blue/green soft furnishings. Was shocked by the price of frames on the high-street even with nasty plastic, so back to t'interweb for proper glass frames

Have you tried charity shops for proper frames? Make sure you have the measurements to hand and take a tape measure then if there's a picture you don't like with a frame that you do, you can snap it up.

Car boots can also be useful hunting grounds for frames but Charity shops are usually pretty good for these and dont overprice them as they do for so much of their bric a brac.

I've stopped selling most frames on Ebay, if they have glass, due to breakage risk. I'd still sell a nice vintage frame but without the glass. A lot of photos in 30s-50s frames which I bought at auction recently, thinking there was a good oil painting included, have disappointed. Unfortunately the "oil painting" turned out to be yet another photo .

CTC, docs tomorrow?
Itsme, hope the meds are really kicking in.

I think most spiders can bite so picking them up is not an option for me

Will be booking in one car for its winter tyres switch end Oct/start Nov, not as good as a 4 x 4 maybe but much safer than normal tyres in the winter cold and wet.
