I got bit by spiders while I was cleaning out under my rhody bushes last week. It's definitely dangerous dirty work, isn't it?Leave a Legacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736682143653420541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-91141074794032838562011-06-03T01:49:39.966+01:002011-06-03T01:49:39.966+01:00You had such beautiful weather and June in Scotlan...You had such beautiful weather and June in Scotland is usually quite nice, is it the same way in England?

It went from being in the cool 60's to 98 in matter of days. Yesterday, I thought I was going to die walking to work. I looked like a drowned rat by the time I got there. Gratefully, the temps. went back down into the 70's today - Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-48408873331175364142011-06-02T13:06:52.815+01:002011-06-02T13:06:52.815+01:00oh my goodness...ack on the flies and the ants, th...oh my goodness...ack on the flies and the ants, though i could probably turn it into a great story...smiles. glad you made it through though...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-1779720984505656252011-06-02T09:14:07.181+01:002011-06-02T09:14:07.181+01:00Hello Val, you and I must be on the same wavelengt...Hello Val, you and I must be on the same wavelength, I spent the last 2 days cutting back several hollies along the back of the garden. They have hugely long whippy "branches" which I shortened right up. The ones I did last autumn have regrown like mad.<br />I agree, it has been very cold indoors, we lit the fire on several occasions!<br />Hope your ant bites have lost their sting now.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-14129815943905733932011-06-02T08:47:41.538+01:002011-06-02T08:47:41.538+01:00I guess that is why I am such a lunatic on the mow...I guess that is why I am such a lunatic on the mower.. easier for me to just mow over things than tackle removing them and getting bitten<br />by insects or scratched by plants..<br /><br />Happy Thursday Val... almost the <br />weekend ( again )fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673468419383240363noreply@blogger.com
