Please, please, PLEASE tell us about your midge machine, as wifey suffers real bad with mossy bites!
Cold here in the Frog mountains and wifey making the sort of "I'm chilly, it's chilly" noises that mean I'll have to get the log burner going soon. Only trouble, don't think I have any dry kindlin, although loads of logs cut and indoors. But maybe I have. Can't remember as did it near on 12 month ago.
Immersion playing up too. Water in tank getting cooler as we have had three days with no sun, so may need to sort that out. Power to it Ok, tis the thermostat/switch which is orl rusty. (Condensation that happens in the cupboard during the winter, must be to do with 300 litres of water in tank only getting up to 10 degrees when we are away.
Still, they have our freezer in, down in Carcassonne! My phone call of Saturday must have got them going, for once. Debating whether to drag a mate with me to help load it, though hoping either I can do it on me own or someone there will lend a hand!
Will get it after lunch.
Still, weather supposed to be improving back up to 27 degrees after today!
Have a good day all!
No I is not a Roger. Not a name one comes across that often nowadays. Though I knew a few when I was a lad and loads of Nigels. Who calls their kid Nigel nowadays?!
Lovely and sunny 'ere if you are venturing this way.
Cheers matey! Will have a look at these in due course with wifey on hand. Without even looking at the links they do sound like they mean business!Hey Stan how's tricks I hope yous are enjoying your time away. (lucky buggers)
Ref the midge machine we have one similar to to one in the link....

Plus one of these.....well two, we got a spare new one as the original was damaged & they sent a
replacement but did not want the damaged one back so I repaired it.
https://midgesnomore.wordpress.com/
The first one is amazing runs off propane & takes a square attractant tablet uses about
13k of gas between 30/40 days we have had about 7 full bags of the little biting fkrs.
Takes a rechargeable battery should last the season with one charge.
The second one is electric also takes an attractant 7 quid a pop lasts a month.
It also has an ultraviolet light which seams to attract the moths here it might be
better with mozzies?? We got this one from amazon for 50 quid just to try it.
Not near as good as the gas one but still works.
Now the daddy of the machines is the predator & dealer is in Dunoon not too far from us.....

We got a cracking deal on our gas one so we could buy two for the price of one of the predators.
Not today. I’m in Southend/Ipswich/Southend
As you'll see, I just posted the fact that I had to take pics and then send em off. I don't have a camera on my phone, which sadly i dropped on our tiled floor this a.m and am anxiously waiting to see if it will ever function again. It is an old friend and very reliable. An old Motorola V171. Whooppee! Just tested it and it seems to just have been a flat battery!

Weather a lot better over here, actually opened up the pool to heat it up a bit.
Spent the rest of affo apple harvesting. We already have enough for 50 litres of apple juice and so many more trees to harvest.
At this rate we really will have to contemplate selling it!
Wifey decided to make some damsons into stewed fruit. Fine. It is lovely.
Then she decided to bottle some of it. So she did another batch and put it in the equivalent to Kilner jars, the sort with wire clippy things and big orange rubber sealing rings.
Hmmmm!
Some have sprouted a little bit of mould on the top.
Some have started bubbling and pushing bits of liquid out. We think they have gone alcoholic!!
Will have to decide what we are going to do about all this. (She never checked it out on tinternet nor nuffin!)
We also made a load of jam with some, (we have jam going back three years now.) About 15 jars.
Harvest time is so bloody busy! "Holiday home" , my left buttock!
Which is more or less what she did, I think. We are experienced jam makers and sterilisation etc is second nature to us. She did also cook the fruit, and added a bit of honey and brown sugar to it. So I have no idea.
