Thanks tigerprincess.  I think Samantha conspires with me only when she detects a biscuit in her future.

Thanks FF.  I liked the first part as well.  As for the aphids, they have learned how to survive hot soapy water.

Well if it makes you feel any better,
I have never had any luck eliminating aphids with the "proper" solution and application. I liked the first part

Sigh!  I can't win at all, Blanche.  Let me quote the birthday card she gave me - the front says 'Happy birthday to someone who is charming, incredibly cute,witty and smart.'   Inside it says, 'It's spooky how we're so much alike.'

JohnMcnab, you and your lady, Ell, make a fine pair
You try something sneaky and she calls you on it.  That sounds virtually Shakespearean.  Of course, lesser women would have fallen for that, but how could you respect a lesser woman?

Me! the aphid killer?  Me, the non-gardner?  How did you guess,Whacky?

You did it on purpose you little sneak!

If only it was crafty enough to convince Ell.  She refilled the Febreeze bottle and has it swinging from her hip.  Apparently if I try anything like that again, I will suffer a soapy death....isn't that a song or some such or is it Dopey Seth?

That's the theory .Dave.  We'll just have to wait and see if it works.

You old devil. Do a job badly and get sacked, eh? More time for blogging.

Now that, Taps, is a brilliant idea.  I'll suggest it to Ell when she is in a good mood - one of these centuries.

Sigh!  Unfortunately, Ell doesn't believe me, Blanche.  She just said 'Pull the other one.'  I think Samantha told on me.

Johnmcnab, You'd better just let Ell do everything but the writing.  LOL

JohnMcnab, you pulled that old male chestnut of "I'm sorry, dear, I'm too
dumb to know not to mix the whites with the reds in the laundry and put them in hot water...woops, they're all pink, well, I guess I can't be trusted to do laundry ever again" didn't you?  You and your conspiratorial winks with the dog, lol!

Isn't it time you had that broken nail seen to, mneme?   The dead flowers had a fragrant dishwashing liquid scent.

Just like I did
- I meant "this" of course. Must be that broken nail.

They might be dead,
but I bet they smell lovely!   Thi sounds like a blonde moment - we all get them.
