For Lil....

Bl**dy H*ll, Scottish! That was quick! :)

Wow! What a lovely little (maybe not so) ginger bumble bee!

Aye it must be a Scot! See if it eats haggis!

Just logged on 2 minutes ago. 10 mins on laptop before moving my ass!

Well if it disnae....he shud!

heheh

Hiya, you two! I just don't know...said shaking head slowly and smiling... :)) Is that SHSAS? :))))

Bon Courage for work? Scottish! :))

That's as dangerous as a Puff Adder to me!

We could start of a whole new txt trend Karen and nobody will have a clue what we are talking about!
Are your alergic Meanie?
OTTSN (Off to the Shower Now!!) Cheerio!

What???

Are you allergic, Meanie? Not a good thing in the garden...

Scottish!...I think we're on to something...'grown up peoples' text speak! lol! :)))

Hahahah! ATPTKO!

PM us with the translation, Pix...then we can be like the young 'uns...and make them feel daft!! :DD

The young'uns, I meant!!!

Seriously allergic - my heart goes haywire! Got stung a few weeks ago for the second time in my life.........

Oh! Not good, Meanie...!
Try googling 'desmodium', I'm not offering a cure, but, I know that the French Gov. have been looking into it seriously since 2009 (after 30 years of research)...for many reasons, including anaphylactic (? spelling?) allergy...
...if nothing comes up, I can send the French reports...
Sorry, Really not on a soapbox, but if it can help...

Thanks Karen.
Amazing what I miss when I leave for a bit :)

Hi Lil!...very nearly called you Lol, there! :D

Interesting...........
Could be useful in my battle with spider mite too!

Lol, Meanie...am thinking about growing it commercially! :)

very nice K, i know what you mean Meanie i've got a serious outbreak of spider mite on my polianthes tuberosa's

Great photo

Polyanthese are caviare to spider mite SL!!!

You have some quite impresive bees over there K. :O)

Thank you Paul, W and Pl...All shapes and sizes! :))

The French are great believers in spraying with garlic infused water, Meanie and W...I don't know about spider mite, but it works on thrips!

Worth a punt to see if it finishes them off - I have them mostly under control now.

It won't do any harm...crush two or three cloves in a litre of boiling water, leave overnight and spray...

Tell me if it works!

ATPTKO = Awat to put the kettle on! lol

Aha! it's obvious when you know... lol!

hahah JHAJN :)))))))))))

Got to think about that one, Pixi.....I may be gone for some time....lol! :)

I'll pm you save your poor brain lol

Not fair.....what about my poor brain?

I still don't know, Lil...Pixi'll have to tell! :)

Haha! Just got it!......is it, just having a jammiedodger now...?? :)

Oh, ok, I was pretty close......NOT......jammiedodger???

Lol! Lil! You probably got it! :))
But... (just for your information lol!)...a jammie dodger is a cheap biscuit (at least it used to be) which all Scottish children used to eat...and many people lay claim to the inventing of :))

You were close! lol
