Yes I got a big bucket of the multi mite powder on your recommendation.
I scattered a load round the edges of my lounge carpet last year as it got attacked by carpet moth. Its pretty vintage but a proper made carpet. My Great Gandmother always said it came out of the lounge of PC Wren the writer. Just for info he died in 1941. That makes it over 80 years old. Just shows though carpets were made to last in them days.

Wow what a carpet! That is amazing. That was certainly a good quality one. We've had new ones a couple of years ago and they don't seem to be wearing very well at all. They weren't cheap either - but I doubt if they will last. My mother in law still has an Axminster one that she got put down in about 1970 and it still looks good.

Okay everyone time to imagine living thousands of years ago.




Imagine going for a walk to forage for food and coming across an animal print that looks like this. You would pray they eat grass wouldn't you.

Lovely sky here last night - it was going up for ten when I noticed it;


You can just see Zi and Fuz in the distance there - I was at the back door in my house shoes and didn't want to go any further!

Well you guys south are having the hottest day of the year but up here its business as usual and hoodies at the ready. Just bringing Storm in from having paddock time. It is mild though, its nice to be able to not bother with a jacket.

Hoodies
It hit 88 here

It was 40c here in the sun (34c in the shade) at 5pm according to my car! It’s been brutal

I felt slightly better with a paddle. The water was freezing!!!

85 already and it's only 11am. I have converted myself to F as that makes more sense to me. Celsius for the winter makes sense.

Mr Trews took these last night.
The first one is a bit Star Trek - I wanted to say "to boldly go" it has such a galaxy / other wordly space vibe!

And the terrible two - at the other end of the fields, totally oblivious to the night time sky;

I liked this one best, it felt like when you looked up like it would just go on forever.

The view from our bedroom window for the summer;

Lovely to see the cows and their offspring. (That's our muck heap lol in the distance). At night I can see them when I sit in bed reading - the calfs are so funny and curious. But they do all lay down. Mr Bull is also in there somewhere, he's going to be busy this summer!
