    The ones we get dont have any distinctive sound so I keep thinking they are just flies till they get close.

    Managed to get to the Isle of Wight today and visit my home, its been 13 years since I was last there, but the views of the Solent are still just as amazing as ever .

    Yikes Glen....I will be more careful next time I tackle one for sure.

    Today Landlady got the keys to the new girl guide and Rainbows hall, alas none of the keys worked for front or back door.. in total that was 20 cut keys didnt match either door.. someone made an opps..luckily she caught it today and now has the right keys and no one else will be given the wrong keys as several packs use the hall...but her monday meeting would of been a farse if she had not gone and checked.

    Went to see my Doctor, Results of my blood test was good news, apparently my swim bladder & dorsal fin are in good working order. Oh wait I think I may have gone to the vets by mistake.

    Sorry to hear you're having a bad day. I hope your loved ones have the sense not to believe your sister's poison. Unfortunately, it's hard for many to believe that someone they know well is evil.



    I posted on this thread a couple of weeks back that I like spiders in general because they catch flies (though I'm not quite so keen on the big thick house spiders that can sometimes be seen scurrying across the floor at high speed).

    I've just read an interesting fact that the spindly daddy long legs spiders which tend to occupy ceiling corners here in the UK eat large house spiders as well as other insects. Good reason for letting them live on our ceilings undisturbed (which I do anyway since they cause me no anxiety)! They can't survive outdoors in the winter so it's kinder to leave them inside - as well as being good for the ecosystem of the home.

    I never kill any spiders (or any other insects if I can possibly help it) though I do usually put large spiders out if I can catch them. It's good to remember that all spiders are hunters and prey on the other insects, so having them as house guests significantly reduces other bugs around our homes.
