Glad your dad is OK and calmed down.<br /><br />I have seen the bindweed running up fence posts but never seen it climbing garden plants (knock on wood it doesn't blow into my garden).<br /><br />Hopefully you were able to settle down to a bit of sewing!

Glad all is okay. I can see why the Bindweed can be a real problem. I don't think that is the one that we have. Ours has smaller leaves and is prickly.
