Have you all migrated to a new Newsgroup?
Miss you!



I'm still here, Pam, though I'm never "all there at a time!"
I have been almost living in the garden for the past couple of months. I
always mean to urgle when I come indoors but, being a lady spider,
there's always dinner to prepare.
I did have a difficult time in August, following a motorway crash at
60mph which wrote our car off. It's amazing it didn't write us off, but
it left us both in shock and nervous wrecks for a while. I'm still
jumping out of my skin at loud noises!
At the moment, I'm caught up with lots of neighbourhood watch business
(we do rather more here than apply stickers to our windows), but I get
outside in the garden whenever I can. No doubt when the clocks change
and we're all forced indoors at 3.30pm, there'll be lots of activity on
urg. I shall be there.

Poor you Spider, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, but glad that
you were more shaken than stirred.
Do take it easy and don't go overdoing things as winter comes on.
Your health is the top priority, plants can be replaced, you can't.

Thank you, David, that's very kind .. *and* sensible.
I shall be doing a lot of gardening now the weather is cooler and the
weeds have slowed down, but I promise to be very careful.
The same goes for you, of course, since this is your digging-up-dahlias
time of year. Don't snap yourself. Hope you get reasonably dry weather
until it's done.
