Sigh.. sure sign it's getting warmer

Every bloomin' time I go to take a drink from my cup of tea, there is now a drowned fly in it.

For Pete's sake. Why do they do this?!?!?!

I want to drink my tea sans fly, and the fly should want to keep living/existing, and the way to accomplish both is for the fly not to drown itself in my tea.

Is that too much to ask, universe?

They seem to appear out of nowhere when it's warmer, nasty buggers hibernating...

Yeah I never seem to see them flying *into* the tea.

It's only when I pick up the cup, and sure as clockwork, the GB Synchronised Fly Swimming team is all lined up doing their amazing drowning routine.

About time, sick of the cold weather - bring on the summer! Shame we might not be able to get out and enjoy the warmer weather too much :/

Now is a good time to discover a love for gardening.

Admittedly this is a bit harder if you don't have a garden. So any new build them, which are al basically glorified shoe boxes backing on to the street.

I mean you could start by cleaning the house.

Reported for swearing (using the "c"-word).

I do have a decent size garden, sadly that's one thing about summer I can't stand - mowing the grass

Been sowing some ornamental grasses this year and last. Various types and colours, nice evergreen ones in oranges, reds, lime greens, chocolate browns.

One of the few plants I don't immediately kill, grasses

Our pathetic lawn (mostly shaded by trees, and lately consumed by expanding veg plots) is being replaced by some lovely "proper" grasses that look neat, sway in the breeze, and - most importantly - don't ever need mowing

Just make an extra cup of tea and leave it on a shelf somewhere.

Hah! Might just try that..
