Yesterday (Dec 30th) we had 2 Blue bottles buzzing around indoors,
also a couple of Mosquito type thingies, and I noticed we have a
blackberry with a lone flower open as well as some apple mint still in
leaf.

I saw a bee flying around outside. We have fruit flies in the kitchen.
(annoyingly) We have 3 types of mint still leafy, althugh I'm not sure it
ever really goes away. Lots of thyme. Annoyingly, the rosemary has all but
gone. Don't think that's seasonal, it's just a bit dead looking.
