(0921) In reply to IYE … I do hope Steve hasn’t “croaked it” white water rafting or skydiving. Also Vice Prez Andy … those balls are lethal.
10. Surfeit of Moo today
… a fine situation to be in (Moo and Eros … yeeeesssss 🤔):
9. France
8. It’s one thing knowing
… it’s another airtightening a case and arresting:
7. This new page thingy
… Isilme does not like me using the term “thingy” or “thing” but the miscreant in me says that sometimes, the context cries out for a thingy or thing. Just as DAD does not like me being fraught … it has to be something being fraught “with” something.
This is my explanation at the top of the current Patron Page:

This post is intended for our tavern patrons (our intel droppers). But it’s also for any communication from a “goodie”. Naturally, a “baddie” is deleted and added to the blacklist. So yes, it’s a baddie honeypot. Here’s the cunning plan:
It might be an idea for me to open a page late evening, every evening, “just in case” and the default is “comments closed” overnight. At the same time, I look at that day’s page … if blank or no need to keep, delete to keep the number of pages down … if important, it stays up.
Next morn, upon awakening, I come to the page, do what needs doing, reset to “comments open” for the day. Rinse and repeat. Sound ok?
6. Enid* or “Babe”, as I call her
She does not trap too many flies or bees or wasps (two of these a plague around here, the bees are ok) … however … and this is a big however … I’ve noticed the wasps paricularly tend to avoid the window opening. I’ve seen them gather in their dozens, poised to divebomb, they do … but at the last moment, they swoop and fly back towards the nest.
There’s also a window trap. If they get in elsewhere, they generally head for the sunroom window and sadly, expire around about Enid Babe but sadly, Enid herself does not get to digest many critters. However, she laps up mineral water, positively thrives on it. So do I (with tonic … HCQ).
There’s a theory which says that she then mutates into a ravening triffid but it sounds like some’s canard to me so far.
“ It might be an idea for me to open a page late evening, every evening, “just in case” and the default is “comments closed” overnight.”
Sounds like a plan!👍
Reminds me of the off off Broadway show of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ in Greenwich Village, NYC in better days, where the plant monster taunted his master ‘Feed me Semour, Feed me’.
10. And Phantom of the Rue Morgue is showing. Eeek!

AKH! I just don’t think I could watch it! 🫣!
Is it more true than we have thou, that sort of behaviour?!
A def Eeek score! 🙀
It looks like she is getting enough. You would not believe the amount of energy they get from just one capture. She is clearly catching something. You could also put the dead flies in and trigger a trap. Providing it is freshly dead then there will be enough moisture in it for Enid. I wouldn’t bother though as she looks fine.

I notice you all think Enid “Babe” is a she. Now would a she play all demure and pretend to be a nice little she in order to ! TRAP ! a pest? Shirley not? 🤷♀️
Just down memory lane for a sec:
My quiet darling daughter who looked ( still does) like the Alice in Wonderland image we see in books and film, was cast to play Audrey N1 in her senior play in high school. She was Fab! Who knew besides us she was so talented and capable? After that everyone knew.
Did she do anymore stage acting? No but she has directed, her preference. Thankfully, only local stuff! We eschew that theatre life and yet we, my children rather, do well in that sort of thing. We do things like that for ourselves, our friends, sometimes church, rarely local theatre (some weirdos there instead of the more interesting odds). Recently for Cuddles’ b’day we had a circus 🎪 for him. We all had different acts, even the wee-est one! So fun and adorable! He so loved it. Wish I could further bore you with it!
Oh! In the play ‘Da-Doo’ the man eating, blood sucking plant was named Audrey 2 as in N2🤔.
Audrey N2 was scary!
Best watch out for those N2’s . ‘Feed me Seymore’…..🤪!
