snicker-snack, snicker-snack!

Yes, parsnips can cause quite a bad reaction. This is why you see carrots with their leaves for sale in the market and in shops, but parsnips are always sold with their leaves chopped off.

Snapped in the garden this afternoon: a hover fly and a bee. There's also another insect in the first couple of pictures. I didn't notice it while taking them, and I don't know what it is.

SWMBO texted me to say she's in town, and did I want her to pick up some meat for making kebabs... I don't know what she'll bring in; probably beef, but could possibly be chicken or duck.

If you have a bit of steel conduit laying around, it's good enough. After drilling out the bamboo, you'd be able to chop off the last inch of the conduit, with the teeth, and use the rest of the conduit as normal, AND you'd have a handy little hole saw for the future. I have a Nicholson hole...
