Is the UK offering all kinds of freebies for getting the vaccine? You could probably eat for free all day here in the US ?JoesDad and I had our second vaccines
Our pizza dinner was very tasty on the way home. I recommend it by way of celebration ?

So I learned something new today... there are cuckoo bees. These bees lay their eggs in the nest of another bee species.
Our cotoneaster horizontalis has just come into flower and there were dozens of bess on it. Most of them were honey bees, but I managed to photograph (badly with my phone) two of the bumblebees.
The first was a male Early Bumblebee
And the second a Forest Cuckoo Bumeblebee … their host of of choice is the Early Bumblebee so it’s no surprise that they’re around together

No. We didn’t even get a sticker this time
I do have bumblebees and the wasps that don't sting that bad. My brother said he hasn't seen honey bees either. We're in the same city. I'm not sure about the rest of our state. Here in the US so many people don't want the vaccine that they're trying anything to get people to take it. My state has a lottery going on for a million dollars. 5 people over the next 5 weeks will win a million and 5 young people will win a full scholarship to the college of their choice.... and then there's all the freebies as a bonus for everyone.So I learned something new today... there are cuckoo bees.

No not a triplet, but 2 of my sisters are twins and they're not identical. We are very close in age though and they used to gang up against me when we were kids - I used to give as good as I got though!!
My Mum didn't know she was having twins until they were born so it was quite a shock for her and my Dad.
I am one of 6 kids but sadly there are only 4 of us left now.
That's a lot of good information to go on
That plant looks very like Audrey from the Little Shop of Horrors!
Be careful Mark! Especially if it starts to demand 'Feed me!' and grows teeth.
I had my second this morning too - so far all good.JoesDad and I had our second vaccines

My car load of junk was disposed of and then I had a rather nice lunch with my sisters - actually 'inside' a pub!!?
We haven't done that since January 2020.
I don't think so - I've not had any freebies - just having protection is good enough for me.
My weigela, shrub that my neighbours have been doing their best to destroy, is covered with little pink flowers that the bees absolutely love . There's always a buzz around that shrub.So I learned something new today... there are cuckoo bees. These bees lay their eggs in the nest of another bee species.

I didn't know about cuckoo bees either, so I've also learnt something new - thank you.
Good evening (or even morning to Linda if she's still up and about)
Hope your Thursday is going well.
Friday has already arrived in the UK and I'm just about to take myself off to bed.
So see you in the morning - Nos Da.

Great minds think alike ? I'm so disgusted with TV tonight that I'm gonna watch Beetlejuice ? for the first time.
They are lifesavers.
Really! For the first time??
I used to keep maintenance on 6 group homes for handicapped and mentally ill residents. Toilets were the most common thing that they focused on to break. I would hate to think how many toilets I have changed. ?That's a lot of good information to go on
That's a great idea. Your pads look the same as mine, but I get more of a flower growth. I will only get 1 or 2 of the berry type blooms in a yr. Opo loves them but I am not sure why I don't get more. I get 100's of the flower type.
I like to feed Opo by hand just to have that personal time with him. But it kills my back bending over.
The first person in Ohio just won the vaccine lottery of a million dollars. And a high school student just won the full ride to Ohio State University vaccine lottery. Ohio is going to do it for 4 more weeks. To try and promote people in Ohio to get the vaccine.
Whaaaaaat was that red food!?!??
A beet????

Wow.... I am sooo glad that was not Peter Wabbit! ?
