WARNING

Anyone got a sudden surge of hibernating Ladybirds in their house, we have, I found at least 20 on the windowsill of the spare room, shows how much cleaning I do eh, always in the garden lol. Still I didn't disturb them and they carried on snoozing, dreaming of a pesticide free summer lol

I'm just dreaming of summer, its freezing here. :D

 

How can you tell they�re hibernating and not dead? :eek: Or was there some movement? :rolleyes:

 

Well when I opened the windows they blinked, yawned and went back to sleep, oh and I definitely saw some legs twitch lol

 

That (all) goes for me too!!

 

Here tooo Pete - frost never really cleared all day - anyone seen when this cold snap is due to end - soon I hope. :( My poor little cyclamen flower buds may not like this and I got outside things to do - without frostbite :D .

 

RE Ladybirds

I have just removed a huge pile of leves from under the ivy at the side of the house and found 2 seven spot ladybirds. I just hope I havent thrown any more away with the leavs :eek:

 

I'd like to know what all this about avatars and ladybirds etc. has to do with my original posting which was a warning about the dangers of losing an eye in a careless moment. If you want to discuss other things then start your own thread, don't hijack mine.

Always have a peep inside your garden gloves, if you keep them in the shed, for Queen wasps having a winter nap :eek: Bliddy hurts!

 

Just read your post Lisa0307 biggest object would be bum. I know I shouldn't say bum as bum is a rude word so I won't mention bum ever again. Joke.
I once had a toad in a pair of wellies I left out overnight and had fallen over, quite funny really, I'm not sure who was the most surprised. On another occasion some cuttings I had taken had mysteriously fallen from the sheltered flower pot onto the floor, very hot weather, a Toad had climbed in and covered itself in damp compost. I remember pressing the disturbed compost down and then a Toads head came up through as if to say whats going on, it gave quite a supprise. It stayed there for quite a few days and was welcome.

 

Obviously this site is not as user friendly as it appeared to be so Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.!

 

:D Well I'm hooked on it!

:confused: C'mon Palustris,have a go at lisa and get your own back :D :D

 

god what is wrong with some people on this site. they are so @@@ dont want to say it they might complain again.

We had a Frog come in the house last autom, gave the dog a fright I can tell you.

 

Well, he'd be right of course!!!

Talking of things in wellies, when my nephew was just a little'un he left his wellies behind at my place. They were under a shelf in the kitchen for over a year. I recall being woken one humid afternoon (I was on night duty) by a huge crowd of blow flies in the kitchen. I nearly freaked out! Then months later when he and his mum came to stay again we retrieved the wellies to find a well rotted bird corpse complete with dozens of empty lava husks. Seems one of my cats must have brought in a bird that found refuge in the welly and subsquently died with obvious results! Yyyyyyuk!!
