      Thank goodness you have found the cause (they are microscopic terrors! :paladin: )


      I did my "coop" (which is an Omlet Cube!) a few weeks ago. Guess what? The surviving perishers have "migrated" to my wooden bistro set :gaah:

      Bring it on, you l'il Blighters: this is "war" on 'want' .... and I don't "want" you! :paladin: ) Hrumph!

              I have a hen with ENORMOUS spurs, bigger than most cockerels. She's very feminine in every other way though :snork:
              Feeling your pain on the red mite front, I've got it for the first time ever this year, it's horrible. I creosoted the house today and have ordered some diatomous earth. Tomorrow I'm going to get some ivermectin to treat the birds with. I'm feeling really itchy just typing about them! Nasty little blighters...

                Mabel isn't trying to impersonate Carole King is she?



                Although that was an excellent performance I still prefer Kenny Lynch's original top ten hit from 1962. Another good East End boy! :heehee:
