The Hornet's Nest

You have a point there ,I hate them too! get a lot here ......beating up the sparrows!!

 

lol me too! The pest man is on his way! i hope Mr H doesn't go mad when he sees the bill and doesn't think i've shopped around enough!

 

Okay, traps are set..yuck! It's squirrels apparently. I find it strange that a pest controller has to ask me how to spell squirrel, but i'll pass over that..he was lovely and very helpful. And..he found "the biggest wasps nest i've ever seen in a house"! Great...i could start a blinkin' zoo!

 

Didnt bring it in with him did he in his bag , then charge you for removing it !!

 

Don't know what it is about wasps just recently, but we have had several nests in our loft recently and my neighbour had one this year as well and there is another at the bottom of the garden that I need to "fix" before they buggers hunker down for the winter.

I had to call in sick today as I am feeling like ****e, I have just woken up!...means I will be missing the game tonight, but will need to get fit for Saturday...!! Anyone want a student ticket for Saturday? Little Miss W_Y cannot make in now as she has had her Olympic training workshop brought forward to this week-end...grrrrr

 

lol no. Funnily enough, we had a conversation about Rogue Traders...he said he does every job as if there's cameras watching him lol

 

Oh bugger! Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly . I can ask my son if he wants to come..he wasn't going to bother since i was staying down for a while, but he might change his mind...i'll ask him. He can always drive himself! lol.

 

Hope you pick up quick W-y , Shame about the workshop being brought fwd! Would have been nice to see Miss W-y again ,give her my regards!

Funnily enough on the wasp front we havent had hardly any, I think this summer has been such a washout its drowned them ......or sent them down to bandit country

 

we have 3 wasps nests including the biggie...wasps have been everywhere this year! And we haven't exactly had summer lol

 

Here they scare off the pigeons.

Had a power cut last night for about 1/2 hour - it had something to do with our connection with N. France as Guernsey also suffered.

 

Are you certain the large wasps nest was not a small hornets nest?

 

Tuesday afternoon and I am tired of work for this week. I want a seven day weekend.

 

i was hopeful Ak, that would have made a better story! lol

 

That sounds good to me...let's petition!

 

A seven day weekend would that mean football everyday? A season would be about 300 games ! Then our enlarged squad may have its uses

 

there you go Norway, you found a positive!

 

My rat trap was sprung overnight, but no sign of the said creature. The tasty offering was untouched so think that one of the very small lizards that are everywhere could have triggered it.

Our wasps have not been around so much this year, but plenty of hornets came while the pears were still on the trees. The traps for them were very successful especially as they were home made out of old plastic bottles.

I did spot a news item about red squirrels on Brownsea Island increasing in numbers. We only have red ones and they have been very busy of late collecting nuts. They are great fun to watch, even if they are rodents.

 

Another positive is that each game would require beer or wine!

 

Red squirrels arent rodents, globally they were getting quite rare , their american grey cousins killing them off and taking their land! pesky Yanks!

 

Not with beer tax they would not.
