It did, I took it with me. I may be just a butterfly but I’m not daft you know.
It is a splendid shell. Could possibly be improved with a bit of purple though?

I have been trying a bit of self-improvement (with the aid of imaginal cells). Love the noble hairstreak and I proffer Gin.

We had some trick or treaters with parents who were pleased with the popcorn in small bags we proffered
My 3 foot wingspan bat who was hung under the outdoor light and provided the necessary scary note
I quite enjoy the younglings here who have to walk half a kilometre to get to us
I remember being dressed up and carrying my turnip (sheep food) lantern aroung asking for a penny for fireworfks

We had about twenty halloweenies (and four chancers, after them). All were delightfully enthusiastic, polte and excited by the treats we proferred. It was really enjoyable and we’ll miss doing this, next year. Really.
I thought I might mention a little irk about our stay at Premier Inn, Wednesday night. Would you believe that hotel ‘guests’ and joe public must all pay for a parking space? £9 for 24 hours, on top of the room charge and non-refundable? Pfffft.
We are experiencing a level of pressure, from our buyers, through our estate agent and, so, we are viewing a rental property, soon, just to get all of them off our backs.
Slàinte!

Apparently, it’s been this way since July 8th of this year - as if that’s anything like okay!

This is becoming quite common, especially at hotels in the middle of nowhere, 'cos where else are you going to go?

I am so behind the times, Hedgers. It just seems rude to charge a paying guest for a space to place their transport. Gin?

Excellent idea.

(Ultimately this comes back to the end about a year ago of very low Federal Reserve base rates, which had meant essentially free loans that could be rolled over. Now companies are trying to maintain their fake profit levels when they can’t just cheat that way, so as well as price rises there are increaseing numbers of extra fees being added, selling all your data to AI firms, etc.)

I should post elsewhere with this, I am certain, but AI will certainly be strengthening the greedy beggas’ hold - in my ever so humble beely opinion.
Fish pie with steamed brocolli and roast tomatoes was good enough for yer bees.
