Today my hands were stained with the blood of a hundred aphids. Then I had a shower and went to the pub (Ye Olde Dolphin) for tea and beer. I will have to relent before going on placement and spray my fruit trees with insecticide - I reckon that to avoid using pesticides I need to look them over about once or twice a week to catch the aphids before they become an infestation, which will definitely happen if I'm away for 8 weeks. DO NOT want a repeat of last year. The complication is that, obviously, the fruit will then be covered in pesticide. Arghs.
Also, the emerging fruit does not seem to like hot weather and some has shrivelled and fallen off. So I guess I need to water my trees atm as well, until it finally rains properly.
Otherwise I watched Inception with some friends tonight. I thought it was a good film, although the ending was of the sort that slightly annoys me (I know why it's done, I just like things... neater). :)
Off to Chippenham tomorrow for Sal's wedding send off thing. Hopefully everything will go well. :)
