An author whom I know parasocially has a new #Horror #film going into production later this month! It looks just the right combo of funny and scary. #Midgies
Highly recommend his funny sci fi books under his real name, Barry J Hutchison, and his #Scottish #Murder mysteries, published as J D Kirk.
And aye, I'd already guessed the nationality of the guy in the white coat before he spoke š®šš¤£

Just back from to-night's dog walk, and two things have just occurred to me. Firstly, there haven't been any midgies for a couple of nights. Perhaps, the midgie season is over; woohoo! Secondly, I heard Stags roaring for the first time this year.
I'll need to make a note for next year to determine if these things always happen simultaneously.
On tonight's #DogWalk I saw a Elder in flower. I decided to photograph the flowers.
After about 10 seconds I started to feel a few midgies. After another 30 seconds both #Neachdainn and I had to do a runner. These timings are not an exaggeration, easily the worst midgies this year (so far).
Overcast, damp and cool conditions are the worst for midgies.
Nooooo!
Last night I received my first midgie bites of the year.

I hereby announce that I will NOT be venturing outside again until the first frosts in September/October.
