Haha Bonzo, people are improvising beautifully during lockdown aren't they?
Funnily enough, we have two birthday celebrations going on near us today - one over the road and one next door! Barbecues, music (not too loud) and lots of fun by the sound of it. Both families have come to the door with burgers and hotdogs for Ib and me. Very kind. They invited us to attend, but I'm 'shielding' so we couldn't go.
The Birthday Boy over the road is 75, and the next-door lassie is 22.
I gave the bloke four cans of Old Speckled Hen, and the young lady a bottle of Prosecco.
Those slugs, by the way, were bright orange and HUGE! But I don't put slug pellets out, because the dead, poisoned slugs would be eaten by birds, who then die too.
Loads of dragonflies, damselflies and hoverflies out and about (and frantically bashing against the windows of our conservatory) I'm rescuing them every hour!
