Lol...Sometimes they are, sometimes not so much. 😁

Hehe, got to show the best!!

I hope you have a good one ahead...Anything special planned?

Aye, we are going to head out to the woods. It's freezing cold but bright and sunny so perfect day for dragging the kids out into the real world for some quality den building n shit. Should be good!

That sounds like fun! Good to get the rugrats out and about in the outdoors...I guess soon it won't be possible when the winter weather closes in.

Oh no, we are hardy creatures. When it gets colder we just wrap up that little bit more!

That's the way...No different to when it gets 47°C here in summer...Life goes on.

Is it cold enough to have thinned out the flesh eating insects? Or is that still part of the experience? Toughen the little buggers up, I say.

They all die after August. It's the perfect time to go gadding about in Scotland after that. Roundabouts now it's very pretty and flesh eating monster free!!

August? Really? When I was a kid we'd have a mass infusion of flies in the last week or two before the first hard frost. My Grandfather had a name for that time of year

"It's hog killing time". And so it was. Usually mid October to the first week of November.
