Anyone suffering with midge bites more than usual this summer?

[1964white]

Must be bad in this area as Jill has just been up the town to purchase & top up on toiletries/medicinal products. Calamine, antihistamine cream, bite spray, all out of stock in six stores.

Why do flies ALWAYS disappear when i get the fly spray out?

My wife’s an astrologer, not sure if she’s ever talked about ancient astrology. I must ask

The midges haven’t been a problem, but the horse flies are massive & really go for it when I’m walking my dog along a bridleway that goes through a dairy farm. I think they must get bored with trying to bite the cows.

You beat me to it Sara. Its wonderful stuff, we always had a bottle on the boat for Summer sailing. Not a single bite once we'd applied it

Not a language as such but I'm learning the deaf alphabet. I'm up to Q at the moment, hopefully sign language the next step

Pascal Struijk's middle name is Augustus

No I haven't seen it as Jill doesn't have a Avon lady who use now to supply us with their products

Just ordered Avon Skin So Soft from Amazon, thanks Sara

Thanks for confirming Sara's advice, Swannie

We have horses, pigs, cows & sheep around us.

Those horse fly bites are brutal, mate.

As you did in your post Sniffer

Talking of languages, my daughter is doing Spanish for GCSE and we have discovered an app called Duolingo. It's great for learning the basics, though I don't think it alone would make you fluent. Always thought having a second language would be a very useful life skill, and Spanish is, I believe, the third most spoken language on earth. The hope is I'll never have to speak English loudly and slowly to a Spanish waiter again!!

I speak a few languages, but it's English folk very often ask me to repeat what I've said, something to do with my Yorkshire accent.
When I'm abroad, it's common to hear the locals talking about us, not knowing I to listen what they say, Arabic has been very uselful over t' years.
