    I should let her finish the ironing first.

    Oh - sorry, bit slow on the uptake there (stupid work!)

    They were in hibernation when we looked around and only started coming out a few weeks ago whenever we'd put the heating on.

    There must be a (grapefruit sized apparently) nest somewhere near the outside of our flat - unless it's inside or in one of the neighbouring flats.. There is a residents meeting next week so I shall bring it up. They only come in to the bedroom which is on the top floor - maybe they're nesting on the roof?

    Piece of advice. Do NOT do a Google image search for "Harlequin Ladyboy" with safesearch turned off.

    Seriously. Don't bother.

    Indeed, and now I'm disappointed.

    Mrs Jog refuses to have the heating on now because that's what brings them out...

    That would be an offshoot of the rugby team that plays with a round ball.

    I thought it was the Harlequin Globetrotters, until I discovered there was no such thing.

    Re the ladybirds: I think I reported on them here before, but have no idea what I said now, and it could well have been witty.

    Hire a cleaner. Your house is obviously dirty and needs cleaning.

    You filthy bugger.
