Squeak Latex

Think you'd suit the ones with the pink frill...

I'm still at the design stage, the tests have only been partially successful. The underpants inflate as they should, but upon inflation they bob to the surface, plunging my head under water, which is not what was in the design brief or briefs.

you are both very naughty........I laughed a lot at the inflatable latex pants.....but Dave I have to say I laughed even more at the thought of you bobbing(no pun intended) along the canal in a pair of these with a frill on them....and then you conjure up the picture of you head down, and supping canal water because of the design of these inflatable pants.
Maybe you should start work on an inflatable vest.

I never though of an inflatable vest, I would have to give it some thought as I dont want to look silly

Dave, better to look daft than bob along the canal in your inflatable under crackers supping the dirty water....you do know that the ducks poo in that water..... don't you?

Lovely flowers Shillelagh -hope they sort the never-ending series of pots out for you soon! It's hard to be without an arm or a leg!

Dave's droplets are lovely as ever -but the Damsel fly (wouldn't have known the difference with a dragon!) is fabulous. Incredibly delicate and quite beautiful.

Sue's pics of Barentsberg are interesting too - very grey and forbidding -I'm always complaining about the relentless heat and sunshine here bu it makes you think to see where some people live!

Looking forward to more pics later -will see if I have any nice ones to post....Have more on my PC than laptop but i never switch it on these days!

Nice bee bum in no 6!

I'm envious - can't grow lilies as there seems to be lily beetle here and in my last garden which just wrecks them - though the beetles are quite pretty! I do have a couple of lilies in a pot which seem to be OK -bought the bulbs from Morrisons a few years ago and they seem to be immune but all others, expensive ones bought on the net, have succumbed.

And foxgloves are one of my all time favourites - but they never come up where I want them, having self seeded in the garden they're always in the wrong place. And if I transplant them they don't like it - grrr! So I put up with them among my veggies cos they're pretty!

the foxgloves appeared from nowhere ..but theyve attracted the bees so ive left them .. well ive pulled one out but left the others ... lol
