Looks like it's going to be a busy year for the street repairers in Berlin!

Blimey I would never even notice this. Great that part of the frame is of the clear cobbles, yet to be gobbled.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Tom.

Reminds me of nightmares I had when I was a kid. And just before bedtime too! Thanks Pete

You'll be fine Rob. Your house is made of wood right?!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Stop it!

 

[Brian Moore]

Load up and go fishing Pete! Nice catch!

And who said that no good would come from staring at the floor?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I wonder if you would be agreeable to export those to me? One of the most enjoyable fish...to catch and eat here is Rockfish.

I feel a business venture coming on Glenn!

The problem is more widespread than I thought. I spotted these nearly fully grown ones in Gross Himstedt today. As you can see, they've done quite some damage and what was more worrying, I found some signs of newly hatched eggs on the walls leading to the basement!

Great images.
I share your worry about the population of stoneworms. Rumour has it, a certain type of seabird likes to feed on them, we do not need a population explosion amongst those.......

 

[Pete Askew]

Aha, that explains how they got so widely distributed!

 

[Brian Moore]

They migrate for the summer. Did you not know that, Pete?
