(without the correction I might have thought that word was some kind of Gaelic slang!)<br /><br />Almost forgetting now what it was I was going to comment. Oh yes. Every time I hear your stories of the insect life at your dwelling- places (or anyone else's for that matter) I feel SO grateful to be living in town and away from blood-thirsty little things like that. Here I almost forget they exist. ;) Growing up though, I we had the forest behind our house. And at my grandparents' house too I remember the midges as a big nuisance on summer evenings.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-39769249954816849852010-06-21T16:52:16.873+01:002010-06-21T16:52:16.873+01:00I have just read my comment above!!!?!

The little beasties rantshembuined my gardening day too!<br /><br />However, it gave me the perfect excuse (why did I need one?) to watch the opening match at Wimbledon. Federa was given a real scare by Falla but won in the end. If the following matches are as good it will be a great two weeks.Spesh 1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07044378302911602273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-32988162478911047402010-06-21T16:23:39.610+01:002010-06-21T16:23:39.610+01:0014 TIMES!!!
