Thankfully I had on me body armour.

*grins*

*calls Chinchin*

Pass the marmalade!

*Nicks all toast and marmalade, scarpers*

He was unable to breach the chinproof safe though

*removes remaining swiss rolls and scoffs hastily*

Twass did you cast some kind of spell last night to make my brother phone me?!

Maybe!

So....when are you getting GOT?

good work
Not sure, but he did mention ordering it!!!

now if you can just arrange for my spare room to be miraculously tidy that would be great

Let me have a look in my crystal ball........................oh dear me no, that's not possible even for magick!

The bees in my chimney all went bonkers for an hour or so today....I went to go out shopping, opened the door and all I could hear was the loudest BUZZING! The garden was full of them milling about, thousands of 'em. The chimney pot was black with them. There are no shortage of honey bees round these here parts for sure! They seem to be settling back down....I suspect they were not keen on me lighting the fire at the weekend. But they'll have to get used to that. Maybe I melted their honey stores

oh no!!! damn magick

should i drive down and use my bee whispering skills?
how strange, have you used The Google to see if there's any information on their beehaviour?

Yes, it said if you had swarm like activity in Autumn it was likely abandonment of their nest. Which would mean they wouldn't survive the winter. However, they all seem very firmly attached to my chimney. They don't come in the house, and they don't bother me, so they are welcome to stay but I will be lighting the fire in the evenings! Maybe there was some kind of big bee protest going on if my farmer is using non bee friendly stuff on the fields Maybe they were all like "DOWN WITH PESTICIDES" and "BAN THE FERTILISERS". THey didn't all poo on my washing as they do when they swarm for real in the summer though so that was a bonus

*hastily makes up spare room bed for bee whisperer to stay in*

*starts barbecuing a whole pig*

beezarre beehaviour
oh i hope they don't all freeze to death due to moving out of the nest before finding new accommodation

at least it wasn't a dirty protest so that's something, did it look like THIS?

Not really...these are honey bees, they aren't bright yellow and stripey...more brownish.

It's been warm in the sun today which may have brought them out...chillier now. I will nip out and check the chimneypot situation!

Just watching the Great British Menu - since when was Buckinghamshire in the North East ?

It's home counties dahlink!

i know! but it#s the North East region this week they said North East a millions times then the first chef they go to is from Buckinghamshire
up here Yorkshire is considered "down south" so god knows what bucks is (probably regarded as foreign )

What about the denizens of Kent like myself?? I'm way farther south than Buckinghamshire Did they mean North East midlands?

you're practically in antarctica

nope definitely North East as in why aye pet...most bizarre....how are the bees reacting to the fire tonight?

No idea, it's black as pitch outside I can't see anything It's blazing away like a good 'un though and I am as warm as toast

don't mention toast we'll be flooded with food thieves
they are probably enjoying CHins curry in the shed

Bless them. Probably head first in the mango chutney

By the way..........

They will probably mistake them for bombay mix

*erects barbed wire fence round thread perimeters* You can't be too careful you know!

we might need stronger defenses, that farmer bob might ram raid us with his tractor

hope tk is ok haven't seen her around for a few days
