I don’t see that being the one precludes the other, but anyway, there is no need for you to sully yer conscience, me dear: the Farmer Giles Fairy is on the case. And may he also get bit by what has bitten me… It wasn’t (for once) a mozzie, and it wasn’t an alligator, but it is Nasty. And there are more sensitive locations than the thumb, as any right-thinking bitey wee sod will know.
Hazzattim!

There are many horse-flies about, Gus. A pox upon whichever winged crittur dared to harm the Gusly thumb. One ovvem. I have remained in the Hive (all day) because of excess UV, heat and pollen. I should prolly go to bed.
Best nights, Cellarites,

Those tend to be pretty large, and kinda audible. This bugger was small and stealthy. I think.
Sleep well amid the manifold joys of summer, wee Bee, all.

It’s not nice but we cope don’t we?
At least it’s only biannually and reassuring
I am a great one for prevention of illness wherever I can
So I present an arm for whatever vaccines I can and get screened for whatever I can as well

Boob west is in its Country Pile - in the family for 1000 years
Boob East is real noveau riche by comparison…

That does, indeed, sound sad, Carinthia.
I am sitting in front of our new PC, which Mr Bee hazz heroically wrangled into function. Got my tablets, by the way, so we’ll feel more comfortable hurtling up to Embra, when summoned. Nice, cool evening.

Thanks. I was very concerned about a potential lack of BP medication - did I tell you how high my BP went when I ran out for a couple of days? It was very scary, and I have had a narsty headache all day just thinking about it.

You braggart. you 
It, surely, must have been better than that, Carinthia. Would you like some ice cream (then I might have some)?
Bed for me. Good nights, Cellarites.

I don’t often eat ice cream, Soo, but blackcurrant sounds delicious.

I have experienced blackcurrant with liquorice ripple. That was …interesting. Blackcurrant sorbet is bluddy lovely, and I bet wor Soo’s ice cream is too.

PS: the Fishly-Dunnocks arrived safely where they planned to be tonight, and ate well.
