@Littleashgarden I put organza jewellery bags on the buds as soon as they emerge. I’m still losing flower heads but it seems to protect a lot of them. I remove the bags as the flowers emerge.
Check your Agapanthus!
As flowers open, you will be able to see whether they are affected by the gall midge, Enigmadiplosis agapanthi.
I'm bagging binning these to help reduce numbers.

This is the mess that’s left after Glastonbury festival every year.
Majority goes to landfill.
And I bet half of these virtue-signalling leftists vote for the Green Party.
True story today.
My sister goes back to her male doctor armed with the correct questions re menopause. She is suffering and being given incorrect and sub standard treatment.
Male Dr: what is the problem
Sister: the debilitating fatigue, I can't even move some days
Male Dr. Me too
Sister then gives the other symptoms and asks for a referral to menopause clinic as no one is helping her at her GP.
Male Dr: What do you think women in Sri Lanka do? They grin and bear it. They don't have the luxury of the expensive treatments that you are asking for.
Male Dr: I will refer you, but it may be rejected.
So my sister, suffering, was gaslighted in 3 ways; Her symptoms were diminished, she was told she should grin and bear it, she was told she may not get her referral.
This is what women are up against. And this is a woman very well briefed in what to ask and expect.

Good evening.
What a day of weather it had been for some locations. Following the tornado in Knutton today, I'm interested to know if any of you have witnessed a tornado? This could be a freak one, or whilst on holiday somewhere.
Kind regards
Penny,

I’m searching for The Simpsons ‘angry man shouts at cloud’ meme now the #Glasto line-up has dropped.
I’ve got a ticket, I’m not that inspired by it (self-employed, time off is the big cost for me) so I’ll chuck mine in the resale pot and hope that someone who loves it gets it 👍
Utterly abhorrent @SouthWestWater is trying to gag local residents by making them sign non-disclosure agreements.
Yep in an attempt to shut up local protesters SWW is trying to buy them off by offering money in exchange for silence.
FFS! @Ofwat???!!! 🤬

Do you remember when it was quite normal for children to go home from school for their lunch? (Some teachers would go home too!)
A short walk or bike ride, lunch with a parent or two and maybe even a bit of TV before the afternoon session.
I think the respite was very healthy.
@Philippa_Perry This is exactly why I have not expressed any expectations to my children. It’s for them to decide what’s best for them, and they don’t need to take me into account. I only want what is best for them, not me.
Shame it’s all kicked off, I was enjoying watching this game.
You’d have to be slighty crazy to go in the home end then celebrate a goal in this fixture.

In 2005, a nursing home in the US got a six-month-old kitten named Oscar as a therapy cat. The staff soon noticed something unusual about him.
Oscar often liked to be by himself, but sometimes he would go and lie next to one of the residents. Strangely, the resident he chose would often pass away within a few hours.
At first, the workers didn't think it was important, but after it happened 20 times, they started to think Oscar knew when someone was going to die. So, they began to call the resident's family if they saw Oscar with them.
Some people think Oscar could sense certain smells from dying cells, and that's why he went to comfort residents who were alone.
There was even a time when the staff thought one resident was going to die, but Oscar stayed with a different, healthier-looking person, who then died first.
Oscar lived until 2022 and was right about more than 100 deaths during his life.
The scaffolding game confuses me.
Neighbour had some scaffold erected for some blokes to fit solar panels. Fitted in half a day the next day.
Scaffolding has sat there for 3wks awaiting removal.
Do they just leave it at people’s houses, effectively free storage of it?
There is no better feeling than feeling confident in your own skin. Now I’ve lost 5 stone, my clothes fit me better than they ever have and that feels incredible! 👔🙌
Honestly, what is stopping you? 💚
