It's supposed to be within the week, but they have warned of delays due to the volume of tests they have to get through.

Well done on managing to dodge the rain
I don't mind getting wet tbh....on the way home....can strip off once indoors

I've just finished watching the very first episode of 'Bewitched'.....took me back many years

You’re on My day hasn’t been to bad â€Ķ.but had a really rough night â€Ķ.and found some bliddy ants in the downstairs loo this morning I HATE ants!

Aww sorry to hear that
Was awake till around 2am ...should have given me a nudge....I can bore anyone to sleep

Ants are a pain to get rid of too....have you traced them back to their nest........what are they after in your loo

When we lived in Cyprus, they had ants called 'Soldier Ants' massive great buggers they were...at night when the lights were on on the verandah, there'd be lines of them marching here & there..........made a right nasty crunching noise underfoot

No idea what they wanted â€Ķ..I think they just marched in on a reccie â€Ķ.via the loo pipe which links to the outside ! I’ve ordered some ant stop bait traps â€Ķ.which usually does the trick , cos the workers take the bait back to the nests and kills the queen. Trouble is with this house is that we have cavity walls â€Ķ..so every few years they find their way in from the outside via any gap inside ! If I see them outside on the patio, or walls I stick out a trap , and we’ve  not had any for a couple of years . I also use natural things like vinegar , or peppermint inside , which they don’t like !
Yes , we saw those big blighters when we were in Cyprus â€Ķ..and in America they have fire ants

I know they're a pest that we could all do without, but they really are amazing little creatures, and fascinating to watch ...when there is nothing else to do of course
Wouldn't want to sit on a red ants nest ...they sting Ouch!

Hi Slim Much better thank you â€Ķ.and went for a short walk today too .How about you ?

Happy to hear it and well done on the walk ....glad you had the weather for it....hasn't stopped raining here
Have had a visit from my sister which kept my Dad entertained for a while

I ordered a barn door last night (for a space at my house), which arrived this morning.....turns out I only actually ordered the iron wear ...no door
If I had a brain I'd be dangerous
