Thrips in November?!

 I am glad to report I am much MUCH more cheerful today.  A good night's sleep helped, but just not being alone is the best thing.  I do get so very lonely here.  Rosie's first words on waking this morning:  Glan-ma, light and cat!

The camera on my phone has a delay and every photo I took this morning so far has ended up wrong!

Ah well, she's gorgeous anyway!

The flood waters seem to be receding now, but I imagine the Cresselly Arms is going to be a huge clean-up job and of course, they can't get flood insurance.  A tree branch took the window out . . .

Photo from Wales online yesterday . . . 

Abergwili football pitch . . .

There is a house out of sight on the far side of the flood.  Think it was sold in a dry period and done up for an Air B&B . . .  This is Llechryd bridge, back in 2018, from a You Tube video, but it was the same yesterday . . . 

This is the lovely house, and the photo was taken 20 years ago, thanks to Geograph who take photo for every grid square.

And here is an imponderable for you - how do cutlery draws get dirty when you are putting away only clean cutlery?

Also, Thrips (tiny black thunder flies) hatching in November?  Not before, not here . . . but in Tam's bedroom, we have a hatching!  Jen and vacuum cleaner heading upstairs now . . .
