I take an odd delight in seeing if I can find mince pies in the shop throughout the year. I never actually buy them, I'm just amused by the fact they're on sale on June...which they often are IME.

I bought a UV torch to look for scorpions in the garden. I've found a couple but they scuttle under a stone when the torch gets too close, no idea how to take a picture of one.

Have a pic of a squirrel from my trail cam instead.

No idea and not yet! :roll: :D I'll grab a piccie later, but they are surprisingly bright for their size. Broad spread of white light more than a beam, so more a worklight than a torch. I bought 4 and gave three away but will buy some more and have them in my car and camper and one under the bike seat. :thumbup:

I've bought three tickets for the RLWC match Papua New Guinea vs Wales.

I'm taking my mum so she can shout rude things at the Welsh team, we've even bought her a PNG flag to wave. She's no affiliation to PNG, just she hates the Welsh.
