    Don't mind bees at all. Nor wasps really. But on farms and small holdings you can get plagues of flies, and that's horrid and makes lots of work. I'm fed of of cleaning fly pop of the walls for hours every day so would like to minimise impact, and would like to have doors open more in the kitchen when I cook.

    Either Aldi or Lidl or more likely both do fly screen stuff for doors in the summer. Or possibly a bit earlier? I toyed with getting some for caravan, as when there are cows in field over the hedge van fills up with flies and they all head for the front window, which doesn't have an opening to get them out. But last year we invested in one of those electric tennis racquet things instead. But we still try and release most insects if it's at all possible.... Just some flies are really stupid and won't stay out. If we kill enough of that type maybe evolution will be kind and we'll get fewer. ;) :rotfl:

    Emailed, and eaten a vat of chicken soup. No fainting here. No siree. On the other hand, I'd sink if I fell in a body of water I'm so full of soup.

    Soup is good food. :)
    I love soup.
    Favourite is pea and ham.

    Wow. Respect to teachers. Particularly primary school ones. I'm shattered.

    There might be a few small children having nightmares tonight... one of the demos we were doing was about handwashing. I was telling them about microorganisms, so the children learnt that they are more bacteria than human and that they are covered in fungus :)

    They're probably sending you imessages rather than texts. They need to change their settings.

    Thanks Gen, but they've already tried that :(

    Anyone else watching the 6 o'clock news on BBC1? When they cut to Sophie Raworth outside Parliament, it sounds like someone is shouting 'BBC, shame on you'?

    Edit: wasn't me hallucinating :) she's just mentioned some 'disturbances'

    Don't we each have something like 5kgs of bacteria in our gut?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Poor, poor you! Can you keep nothing down at all?

    DW is not feeling very well. I can cope with her being unwell, but tired and under the weather is not something I know what to do about.

    Not sure about the mass, but we have more bacterial cells in us than human ones.

    Oh, and I learnt a new word today (at a primary school).

    Agape.
