I took the day off and the sun has disappeared
Karma I guess.
I have also woken up with a smoker's cough. WTF.
Last night the cat was doing this weird sneezy thing. It made me think there might be a wasp about, but I couldn't find the Tox or the Raid. I hide them about the place then forget where they are.

I need to MTFU as I'm out for 'lunch' today and out for 'dinner' tonight, and these are Good Things.

Why are you feeling odd?

Possibly something to do with alcohol consumed last night
I shall piece together last night's details as the day unfolds, I suspect.

Your cat sneezes at wasps?
How odd.

I find a rolled up newspaper works as an efficient waspicide.

And it's nice and sunny up here. The sunset was particularly nice last night too, as the sky was free of contrails, had lots of dust to make it red, and the moon, Venus and Mercury were lined up nicely.

I tried to take photos but they didn't turn out too well.

Wasps are pretty slow, as flying insects go. Wait until it's buzzing around a window, then flatten it with the newspaper.

It just means there's one fewer wasp to get worried about.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 8:50, Reply)

Ach
they're just trying to be goody goody and stop kids from killing wasps. And if they encouraged it, some kids would be stung and tell their mums that "Newsround told me to do it", then the BBC would be in trouble.

Wasp stings are a bit painful, but not that bad. I've been stung a few times. The worst one was by a queen wasp, on my big toe!

Now this
is very true.

I remember sitting in a beer garden outside a Cambridge pub many years ago, trapping wasps. We had four of them buzzing angrily under empty pint glasses when we left. A tad unfair on the bar staff, to be honest!

Unless I was perhaps in a pub in Liverpool where Gary the barmaid was afraid of wasps... :-)
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 9:01, Reply)

Wasp stings have pheremones which attract nearby wasps and make them aggressive.

This entire thing is made harder by the fact I'm trying to give up caffeine. Not fun.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Fri 16 Apr 2010, 8:49, Reply)

It wasn't so much the caffeine that's the problem
It was the energy drinks that I was having that were causing problems.

I figured it'd be easier to just cut it out completely.
