I think my problem is I am completely oblivious the bugs. I've been to Africa and the middle east.... mosquitos are the height of what I would consider. Last year we were in Sweden and I saw a snake in the grass and screamed. I was told "of course we have snakes in Sweden" This was promptly followed up with a snigger and a muttered "we didnt all have St. Patrick"!!!!.
I love your flowers, the purple is beautiful. I am going to buy some more at lunch. To treat myself.
Actually I was told that he wouldnt mind if I did that Woo hoo more flowers for me too. We have lizards in Ireland. Apparently living in bogs. We have cockroaches too, being imported and there has been a huge increase. Thank god I have never seen any of them, hissing or otherwise.
