    With the summer we have never had ,Passing, With heavy torrential rains ,very little sunshine,crops failing ,wettest summer for 100 years,we now have been informed that because of the bad weather,the dreaded Midge is having a third generation this year.:mad:.
    Allegedly the weather has been great for the Midge population:mad:.

    Ah Well ,it's on with the Lemon,and the Avon Skin So Soft And the Cucumber Extract.:blue thumb:.
    Only one problem,The Smell. My neighbour, James,Has been giving me some funny sheepish looks lately ;);).

            Sorry to hear all those woes, music :sad:. Until you got to the midges bit I was wondering how you managed to pick all the bad things. Then I remembered you live in Scotland:doh:
