My next door neighbour often provides these visitors with supper. The supper plate provided me with the perfect opportunity to introduce Billy to you. Billy was named by my neighbour, but I suspect that Billy is a girl. <br />
<br />
Last night conditions felt just right and I had a feeling that I might get a photo of Billy, so I set my camera to night vision and hoped for the best. I know that Billy has been coming at a regular time for the last week or two, so at the appropriate hour I tiptoed out of the house and peered over the fence.<br />
<br />
There he/she was about two yards away from me. I wish I had a better camera.<br />

"Would you like some?" said S. Daft question, of course I would. "Will you use them?" said S. (I think she must have seen my bucket of apples go in the bin.) "Tomato Soup" I said.<br />
<br />
Well S., I used them and very nice they were too.<br />
THANKYOU.<br />

I know that they had been sitting there for ages,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know that there were a few flies around them,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know that the wasps were loving them, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know that they were becoming a bit smelly,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know that there were two many for me to deal with just now,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
THROW THEM AWAY.</div>

I had good intentions, but the best laid plans don't always come to fruition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At least I don't have to worry about them sitting there anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are just as many still hanging on the tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The apple pie and crumble apples are still hanging on the other tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They did all house at least one worm, so no one else wanted them and their condition had deteriorated quite considerably from when the photo was taken.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
YES, I'll forgive him for putting them in the bin.</div>

It landed on my kitchen window in July and luckily stayed there long enough for me to get the camera out.<br />
I think it is a White Satin Moth.<br />

I've been so tired, dealing with things, that something had to give - NO TIME TO BLOG.<br />
I have been reading though and keeping in touch with all the goings on at my favourite blog sites.<br />
<br />
The worst thing that happened this year was my mother having a massive operation and I do mean MASSIVE, but thankfully she seems to be coping well considering that she is 81 years old.<br />
Hopefully things here are settling down a bit now (ooh, I hope that's not tempting fate) and I hope to get back to some sort of normality. <br />
<br />
You really ought to see my garden, well perhaps not, I mean I'm always good at growing weeds for the giant weed competition, but this year I've really surpassed myself. I should have taken photos of them when they were at their best, you would have been impressed. 'Seven years seeding, seven years weeding' . I had better be on the ball next year or the garden will be a proper jungle.<br />
<br />
Now my next job is to see if I can remember how to re-size photos.<br />
I'LL BE BACK. <br />

No, it wouldn't let me in to my blog. Panic, panic, panic, big shout for the Old Grump and sorted. Well kind of sorted, because things have changed and now, once more I have to learn how to use blogger. So here I am, determined to get blogging again, but having to re-learn everything. It's lunchtime. I'm off for sustenance, but I'll be back.Doohiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08047086408214580177noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284423636817915228.post-9551832829498628602013-10-15T16:30:00.000+01:002013-10-15T16:30:40.855+01:00I WILL!<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
On the plus side I'm feeling much better, but do you think I could leave this lot till tomorrow?<br />

<u>The Mission.</u><br />
<br />
We have a little visitor or maybe two or three or - - - - who knows how many.<br />
Our little visitor is leaving a stash of food in our garage. We can see him/her/ them coming and going under the garage door, but we don't think that they live in the garage.<br />
Is it a mouse or a vole?<br />
