LazyDaisy Jun 2023 7:36pm, 25 Jun 2023 38,401 posts	0 LazyDaisy Came downstairs this morning to the sight of numerous ants scurrying along the plinth (if that's what it's called) underneath a run of kitchen wall cupboards. It's not obvious where they are coming from. I cleaned out the kitchen cupboards above their little motorway but so far they don't seem to have infiltrated the food inside.

LazyDaisy Jul 2023 11:55am, 1 Jul 2023 38,428 posts	0 LazyDaisy I wanted to enter the Palma 10k yesterday because the price goes up 5 euros as from today. I needed my passport number to enter, and I thought that would be fine (I'm 120 miles away from my passport this weekend) because I have a photo of it on my phone. Except the only passport details on my phone are of my now expired passport, not my current one.
