Woodworm

The little beasties have managed to infiltrate my loft space (and that of my neighbour) - presumably because an old shed in her garden was riddled with them when she moved in just a few months ago.   At present there is just the very minimal damage but tomorrow the 'woodworm men' are coming to sort them out.   Woodworms beware - they are out to get you.   Tess and I hope the weather will be fine (at present it is pouring with rain and the heating is on) so that all doors and windows can be open.

Last night, for no reason I can identify, I had what was possibly the worse night's sleep ever.   Consequently I am tired today and hoping I can manage to stay awake for the repeat of Nigel Slater's Middle Eastern cooking (due to start in seven minutes time) and then later for the fascinating 63 up, which is on at nine.   If you watched 7 up last evening I hope you agree with me that it was quite magical.

Til tomorrow.

I am hoping to watch 63 Up on catch-up TV later. I have watched the previous series as it is quite interesting for me. All those involved were born the same year as me and I have found it fascinating to watch how each personality has grown up through the same period and evolved differently.
I sympathise with the woodworm problem. We suffered for quite a few years after moving into our house and hope that they are all now well and truly exterminated after several treatments.

We have termites here in Tucson but mostly have subterranean termites.
I have a check for them once a year and when the bug spray man comes out 4 times a year to spray right around the house he checks for them also.
I am amazed your neighbors house inspection didn't see that.
Hope it clears up fast.

What a relief for you that the woodworm damage is not too serious. I hope you will soon be declared free of the little blighters.
I haven't come across 63Up and wonder if they'll make a 36Up!

Good point about your neighbours surveyor report. Do you have to have home reports in England? Our was picked up at our previous home here. Dealt with. Hope you have a better night. I am on steroids which leads to me wakening every hour through the night.....

Like JayCee I'm hoping to watch 63 Up on catch up tomorrow. Have always watched the series as they are the same age as me and I find it fascinating.

I have ever only found it in antique furniture, so got rid of it myself. Hopefully the weather wil be bright and less cold and you can sit in the garden whilst the 'cleansing' is happening.

Cold here this morning. I can't watch those type of tv programmes. Probably wrong of me. The very idea of them makes me cringe. They put ideas in your head that this is what life is or could be but really it isn't for most of us. So I watch Indian Railways instead.

I love the whole 7Up series and have watched every seven years as the current checkin returns. You can see the series has been a burden to many (and some choose not to participate some years though sometimes return) and at times a blessing to some. It shows such a range of real human experiences and the different ways people make sense of these and manage to go on. I really thank the party for their generosity. I don’t think I could have done it. Not that they would have understood as 7 year olds. As a researcher I have to say I can’t see it getting through University ethics approval now. It will be shown on Australian TV next week.

I thank the participants (bother autocorrect!)
