they always remind me of my granddads garden years ago,
he used to grow lots of dahlias & they usually had
quite a few of them lurking in the flowers :eek:

Dahlias are notorious for attracting them ff

I don't like earwigs either Rose.

Thing I hate with a passion is the lid that goes up to the attic for some reason. My Grandma always used to say there were peeps living in hers but that was when the attics of a terrace house used to go from one to the other. Never liked them since and won't go to bed if the lid is not down.

Been out in the garden most of the day until now, just come back in for a cuppa. We even had lunch out there it was so nice. Been digging up more of the borders so I can get more slate down before Winter.

glad the weather stayed nice for you sylv &
you had lunch out in the garden :j
sounds lovely, we always enjoy eating out if the
weathers nice :j
sun did pop out here for a bit but not nice enough
to be out in it,
you saying that about the loft hatches reminded me of a
horror film I saw ages ago where someone lived
in some ones attic :eek: they can be a bit scary :eek:


them earwigs used to get in all my strawberries at
one time as well rose :eek:

I don't like earwigs either. My Grandad used to say that thay crawled in your ears and walked around and around inside your head until they sent you mad :eek:
That has stayed with me and I always check the bed for them (and woodlice) before I get in. Spiders on the otherhand don't bother me at all. Ive had a tarantula with sting removed of course, walking up my arm and down the other

Weather is still lovely here too, ive managed to get all the beds stripped, laundered and remade. I love getting in to a freshly made bed.

my granddad always used to say that as well whizzy :eek:
I love spiders as well as everyone in here knows :j:D
used to go out with a bloke years ago who kept exotic pets
& tarantulas etc, I think they're are fascinating,
great you got all the washing &
done :j

Son had an Iguana when he was younger called Arnie. But he is terrified of spiders and daddy long legs. One day in his house there was one crawling on the carpet and I was in kitchen making kids lunch and he came running in saying mum you have to go in the living room. He said just look on the floor. In I went looking at the floor couldn't see anything so said to him what am I looking for ? not wanting to frighten the kids he spelled out spider. Finally found it and put it out lol. This is a 32 year old who is a weapons engineer in a submarine.

Gave in and put heating on. New system so difficult to set the timer.
Hopefully got it set ok now.
