Isn't it lovely to see all the beautiful birds, butterflies etc. back again?
Won't be nice if swarms of flies appear again though!

Hi,
Its nice to see the birds, butterflies etc, BUT My first line of defence against the dreaded creepy hords a one eyed, one eared deaf rescued cat entered the house cursing with a very dark coloured bee type crawley I went into the courtyard and found a large number of these insects crawling on the floor they do not seem to sting or attack ( so not Spanish, estate agents or lawyers ) and have been returning now for several days doing the same thing. They then disappear as quickly as they appear. Any Ideas what they could be, we cannot find any type of nest.
Yours ( now add to my C.V. ) the nature lover.

Well if there are loads of them together they can't be solitary bees !!
Any chance you might fancy a two eyed astute hearing cat good at catching mice rats and birds as a soul mate for your rescue cat?

Dear Hazelnut,
Thanks for the generous offer but a couple of years too late, as someone dumped four newly born kittens in a plastic bag under some road stones for the crusher to smash into the road. They were found just in time and brought to us. I told her indoors that we were not having them, she did as she was told as always so spent the next few weeks, day and night bottle feeding them every two hours. Then told her when they were on solid food they must go. Now costing us the national debt to feed. Add to this the two rescue dogs I have now several bone idle, picky, I'll do you a favour animals. Who seem only to respond to the name Franco. A few days ago after the one eyed cat brought in the bee I insisted what with eating piddling and the other, I was the man of the house and something must be done she who must be obeyed suggested a covered litter tray to which I replied, we have one THE KITCHEN. so sorry Hazelnut no can do.
Yours, man of the house squeaking quietly.
