Did Rose sew hers? I thought both ladies were beautiful. So...to me It's Ray, Rose, Opo, and Mom. Unless mom has a name??? Glad all of you just got to relax and have some fun.
No Rose didn't make her bag. My mother in laws name is Mirla but we call her Nanay.

Aaagh, i know it well. Stayed in a cottage right by Urquhart Castle, and had some fine salmon at a quaint pub in “down town” Drumnadrochit. In fact...it was the Lewiston Arms....funny the things we remember!
When I was at Loch Ness, there was a research boat on the water doing a grid search for Nessie.

We thought it would be nice to sit on the stone wall and enjoy our picnic lunch, while eagerly awaiting the moment the boat would locate Nessie, and convince her to surface.

We got all our picnic things out, the food, the drinks, we lined up on the wall...AND THEY ARRIVED!

The largest, noisiest, hungriest, nastiest horde of bees (yellow jackets) descended onto our meal. There were hundreds and hundreds of them. It was impossible to pick anything up, much less get it into your mouth.

Shortest picnic ever...we left quickly, still hungry, and even abandoned much of the food to the mob of buzzers.

At least Nessie kept herself hidden...that would have been too much to bear! [emoji4]

Thanks for letting me know about John, I'm glad he's returned.
It's Ramadan at the moment so I'm spending most of my days hungry, thirsty and desperate for a cigarette. Ha de ha.
Lots of love and hugs,
Adam."
Thank you Sabine.

Whahaha. Actually that must have been quite scary.

Excellent to hear from both Adam, if only indirectly, and @johnand jade.

We need more CDR wibbles [emoji4]

Thank you. I'm going to start carrying my own bags again because the ones in the stores aren't comfortable. They make my shoulder ache and my billfold...and all for something that doesn't work for me. I thought Ray's wife looked so adorable with her matching bag that it encouraged me to try another.

I have pretty much stopped carrying a bag unless I really have to. I have a couple of backpack style “purses” (as you Americans call them) which I only use if things won’t fit in my pockets.

Are you able to look in to see what's in the nest? Some birds will have a second brood if conditions allow it. And yes hopefully again in 2020 successfully. My zebra finches leave the nest in about 21 days. I don't know anything about blueits.

Bluet!ts only ever have one brood a year. I will leave it a few weeks before clearing the box out... lets the parasites die off ... and then I can see what’s there.
