Sloe Bug

I THINK this is a Sloe Bug (Dolycoris Baccarum) -a type of shield bug - however, you never know - or rather I never know.
Skype session this morning wasn't 100% successful as the boys wanted to play (which is only normal for an 8 year old and a 4 year old). That was much more preferable than sitting in front of a computer talking to two old people on the other side of the world, that you only see once a year. 
Now I sound like the old lady in my Blip on Thursday, who was moaning at the steam engine driver, wanting him to move on.  I've morphed!! It must have been catching.
