    Thanks. Maybe I don't give it long enough but even over time there's little or no effect. Maybe Barry can spare some Napalm?

    Aren't bees cool?

    I'm sat out in the garden, and am surrounded by countless bees. There seems to be more bees than flowers, but they never seem to fight over them. They never bother us, we're all but invisible to them.

    They are real grafters, working from dawn til dusk, and never seem to complain. They don't even seem to be worried about their shape.


    Unlike the wasps, they're a right bunch of bastards they are.

    Bloody typical. I go round the garden and water all the potted plants, then an hour later there's a downpour!

    Well that was disappointing. I was moving stuff around in the garden and had to shift a couple of eighty pound paving slabs. They definitely felt heavier than they used to. I've had them a long time and used to be able to lift them over my head easily. Can't do it now!

    Need to work out a bit again I think!
