Does anyone happen to know what kind of moth this is please, without my having to trawl through hundreds of pics?

It's not really vital that I find out, I'm just curious. Maybe it's something really common...and no, it didn't fly out of my purse. :o)

Hahaaa. I've rolled up laughing .
Robinia you must be psychic .
I have got a basket of dirty washing out the back today but it's been piddling down so I left it there .And Mr S does keep going either into the front room or upstairs for a snooze lately.
I'm glad you had a nice day with me but do 'phone beforehand next time so I can whip round with my microfibres and dust my tiara :)
Hope you are all well on what has been a wet and windy day here .
I jabbed Mr S. in the bread basket and he's survived to tell the tale :) I might FAO sqad about it actually . Hee hee.....

glad to hear Mr S is surviving the needles, Shaney. I am down to have a flu jab next week and not exactly looking forward to it, though the number of winter colds I get has plummeted since I started the jabs. I know they're not supposed to have anything to do with colds, so maybe it's just coincidence.
9.47 that's a bit late innit Woofy, I love it when I wake up at 4 a.m. cos somebody's in the room staring at me and it's you ha ha ha! Aww no I do love it, honest, it's like having a guardian cyber angel :)) ♫♪ his eye is on the sparrow ♪ her eye is on the biddies and i knooow she's watching meee ♪♫
Speaking of airborne rats, as my father was wont to call them... there's a huge shopping centre next to the library where I spend my weekdays ATM and where sparrows will often go astray. Generally they'll stay close to the doors and soon find their way out again but the other evening I saw one flying around in one of the upstairs shops checking every window in search of an opening. When I told a shop assistant about it she said he would often visit them but would generally escort himself off the premises shortly before closing time as the noise settles down. And also that her boss would arrange a trail of bread crumbs to "show him the door" if he didn't. It's a clothes shop but they sell some china and stuff and I saw the poor little guy land on the rim of a mug peering down it in search of a little something to wet his whistle:'( I followed him around for a while but I wasn't able to make him trust me enough to break his trust and catch him... The next morning as I had my morning coffee at the same shopping centre he was there, downstairs, close to the doors:) I'm pretty sure it was him cos I was the very first guest at the cafe and the grand doors weren't open yet, only regular door-doors. Any-hoo... this has been your flying sparrow reporter, reporting live from Sparrow Town.

arternoon all. Kit at 4am i am turning off the alarm and waking the dogs. between 4.20 and 4.30 I am piling them in the car then 10 minutes to the forest. 40 mins ish of tearing around in the dark (beautiful moonlight at the moment) buy the paper and chat with the nice lady and her son who do the early shift at the shop then home...feed dogs, make coffee and log on. at around 06.30.check on DH and flake out again. that first cup of coffee tastes amazing. I have gingerbread and pumpkin spice syrups to put in it when i want to. So yes my eye is on you...but maybe not at 4 am
Its beautiful here today, brisk and sunny.

Ah no woofy you are not, cos 4am to Kit is 3am to you (I think). I am usually in the land of nod unless daughter is out partying or mousey is yowling!!

Afternoon All. Lovely day here. Been out for an hour having a bit of a walk. Walked up the main road into the countryside for 1/2 and hour then came back again for some coffee.
And would you believe I had chicken Korma for lunch. Couldn't be a***d doing veg and the rest today.
A bit of sad news, remember the old man up the ladder up the apple tree. Well he died on Thursday after a massive heart attack. Our oldest relative.(second cousin). I think I said he was 92 well I added 2 years he was only 90. Only! I say! Didn't mean it to sound like that. Anyway I'm so glad me and Fuschia had the day with him in his garden taking fuschia cuttings and apples I have a good memory of him.
Hope you are all having a peaceful Sunday. I'm still struggling with the Sunday Express Skeleton Crossie and listening to Planet Rock on me DAB. That may not sound a peaceful day to you all but to me it's ok...
I've finally managed to get my tones sorted on my new phone at last. Hey Jude for my ring tone and Love me Do for my messages. Do you approve of the songs Vinny even though you may think I'm barmy. (Where is he by the way)
Aren't birds lovely Kit. My white feather Blackie keeps coming every day still for his breakfast. I don't leave my back door open now cos of the cold but I put the meal worms out them keep watch out of the ktichen window. It doesn't take him long to turn up. I usually give hime whistle to let him know.
Right off now to do a bit more Crossie if I can.
See yer later 'gater(s)

Hiya folks. I have had a busy week and am now having a lazy day!! I seem to have been rushing around. Mind you, even today I have gone to Morrisons and done a huge shop!
I love birds so much. I have a large family of goldfinches who descend first thing in the morning and then proceed to empty two bird feeders full of niger seed. They don't even seem to take a break during the course of the day. Such pretty litle birds.
The weather here is not nice at all. It looks nice when you look outside, sunny and bright but it is so so cold and we are getting loads of wintry showers along with the sunshine and some huge hailstones. The wind goes right through you!!
My friend is doing well and is coming home tomorrow. She was the last person I would have thought would have a heart attack. It wasn't a massive heart attack fortunately like Mr LL had, but nevertheless very unpleasant and she now has a string of appointments as a follow up.
Neti - I thought you were on a diet!! you seem to be stuffing yourself all the time. Your threads are always about food!!
See you soon

In case you are around Shaney - I sat down in the study/junk room to write you a long mail, but I couldn't keep my eyes open so I gave up and went to bed for two hours. Best sleep I have had in a long time. Will be in touch tomorrow, but meanwhile hope the Mr SS in OK. Well done with those injections!! x

Hi Lottie and Neit, and all. Yes Neti my cousin was very active and would have wanted to keep going. He was driving up til about March as well.
Lottie I'm pleased your friend is getting treated. Lucky you having goldfinches in your garden. My sister does too. All I get is pigeons, sparrows and my Blackie.

Hi Jude,
We get woodpigeons, collared doves, jackdaws, tree sparrows gallore, house sparrows, a multitude of blue tits, great tits, cole tits, long tailed tits, chaffinch, greenfinch goldfinch, loads of blackbirds, pheasants, parttridge, moorhens, the occasional duck, starlings, goldcrests, robins (two residents in different patches), the occasional jay, sparrowhawks!! (one nearly flew into me the other day), dunnocks. And probably more that I have overlooked. Buzzards in the wood behind us at the moment and quite a few seagulls too over the field. Herring gulls seem to like feeding on small mammals as well as fish!!
They cost me a fortune. I by bird seed and peanuts by the sack load, tubs of fat balls aand meal worms as well as the niger seed. My neighbour opposite feeds them as well and she has a 1.5 acre garden. So between us we have a small bird reserve in the middle of intensively farmed countryside.

That's not a garden that's a Hitchcock movie Lottie!/Heart attacks among women are a lot more common than what has previously been known. Our symptoms are different and often go undiagnosed. Medical researchers don't like women cos we react differently to medication - and other treatment and physiotherapy - depending on what time of the month we're in, when young, and they don't like to do research on oldies either cos oldies have so many other pills that confuddle the results so practically any research findings you may read about refer to thirty year old men. Or rats. Or pigs. Anything but women cos that would be too demanding. It's infuriating - but what I really meant to say is I'm happy your friend is on the mend, Lottie!
Sorry 'bout your cousin, Jude... happy for him he got to be so active, fancy that, working in your garden climbing ladders picking apples right up till the end - and having you and your sis for guests:) I have the piccy saved, thought he was amazing. (Got your blackie in there too in the same file:))

Its lovely to be able to feed the birds...I had to stop because we had such a rat problem. I leave water available and grow plants which have seeds and berries.
Shaney how are you doing with the jabs? We are chugging along here.
Kit I hope you haven't killed any builders yet? Do they work Sundays or do you get a day off?
I hope that everyone is doing well with aches pains and chills? Its going to be cold again tonight.

PS you were exactly right about the time zone differences Neti but I had accounted for that, I'm getting quite used to having two clocks in my head:)
Yes Woofy I get two days off, Saturday and Sunday, so that's good. I do all the laundry on these two days cos it won't dry if I do it while the ventilation is turned off. Coupla years ago during the grand refurbishing they worked on weekends as well and till 10 in the evening (different teams, of course) and I would have killed them for sure if they hadn't agreed to relocate me to another building after a while, but they did. I've had too much of it in my past. A friend of mine had hammer drilling in her building too a couple of weeks ago and she called me just to say "NOW I understand what you've been on about". She was driven up the wall after two hours. The plastic outside the window is reeeaaally getting me down:'((( Can't do my dog watching! So even more dog stories than usual would be appreciated, shaggy or not:)

Evening moths ,just fluttering by on my way to watch Downton Abbey then fall into bed .
The jabs are all completed Woofy .For my next trick I'm going to learn brain surgery :)
Up tomorrow bright and early for the ultrasound .Then we've got a bit of a rest ,apart from the district nurse and the stoma nurse until Friday then it's the wee doctor .
Sorry to hear about your cousin Jude .Very sad for you.He had a jolly good innings though and was very lucky to have remained so active for so long .I hope you have happy memories .
Hope your friend will be OK Lofty .My SiL has survived two heart attacks amongst other life threatening things and still chugging along at neary 77 .
I don't feed the birds anymore either because of dear little Tinkerbell. They all flocked back when she was confined to barracks with a poorly paw for six weeks but she's on the prowl again and I won't encourage them just so she can have a meal :)
I'm off .Night all and take care .Keep warm and sleep tight xx
Just come and stand here Jno
