Thought I'd take advantage of a drier day and cleared an old bed of perennials out ready for new strawberry plants. Then cleared old strawb bed which will have tatties growing in it next year, got half a dozen decent new Cambridge favorite's out of there, potted up ready for planting out later.

Nasty person wishing ill on all those babies - could you look them in their multiple sets of eyes and say that as they sweetly hold their stinger in the air and wave at you with their pincers. And the lovely way they glow under UV light.

And what do scorpions eat - bugs.

Mind you I don't live in Kent so there's little chance of my plot being over run with them

Trouble is, they were right outside the door last night. Probably quite a few indoors by now.

Thanks for the info about scorpions. But I reckon the most amazing thing I've learned about them today is here (do not click if you don't like insects...):

Nice site - cool birth eh.

Get a portable black light and use it with the lights off to see if the scorpions are round the door - they glow under UV.

Most of them are in the Sheerness Dockyard wall, and they only give you a little nip, nothing to be scairt of

^Yet more fascinating information about scorpions.

Oh, last one out and first one in. Better put the kettle on. Now, where did I hide that packet of biscuits?

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all.
Wet and grey this morning.
Off out shortly for a champagne breakfast with the family.
We are celebrating my daughter and son in laws silver wedding anniversary.
Have a good day all especially those who have the sunshine.

[Snoop Puss]

Congrats to your daughter and son-in-law, Bramble. A champagne breakfast sounds just the way to start the day!

Good day all,bit chilly this morning,had to put warm clothes on,am just chillin today,with only the grey matter on the move,Bgood2yrselves.

Well, a relatively productive day. Some paid work done and vegetarian chickpea and carrot burgers made (BBC recipe, they feel a bit soft despite the extra breadcrumbs I added, so I hope they're OK). About to do the washing-up from the burgers and get a bean filling for tortillas underway. Then maybe cut some plums up for freezing for winter crumbles.

Mr Snoop is out at the mo, but he's done loads of tidying, as we've got two lots of friends coming tomorrow. That's the theory. Clearly they haven't seen the weather forecasts yet. We're due rain and supposedly quite a bit of it! Great for the trees but not good for visitors and especially not for visiting kids.

Have a nice evening, everyone.

Feeling a tad glum with my shingles...I just read the BBC news...
See.... it could have been worse!
