They were both inside the house and I had no idea where they came from as all the windows were closed. I was on a call to a client when the second one appeared , it dropped off the window onto the floor and was slowly crawling towards me. I was trying to buy Eur 40 k from the client at the time. I had to put my mobile phone on the desk with the client holding on , and run to get a glass. Every year we are plagued by insects that sting ( you may recall Mr Tidy’s hornet trap) . The idea of a bees hive in the house whilst in isolation is not a pleasant distraction.

I choose my laptop based on how well the screen works in bright sunlight, as i'm out in the garden with it during the summer. You know i wouldn't even mind it when the weather is bad. It was blowing a gale one morning last week and it was nice being inside hearing it. It reminded me of when I was a wee girl and the wind howled and the single pane glass shuddered. My gran had a chair at the window that we would sit at. It was scary but exciting at the same time. Sigh. I think this isolation is taking its toll on me .....

Even a wasp (annoying bassas) only sting when accidentally squashed in my experience... twice. Once was up my trouser leg. (Remember flares?) It got to my upper, inner thigh before I noticed and got stung. The other folk at the bus stop must have thought me a little strange.

TDYER63 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 5 hours ago, Orraloon said: A bumblebee won't sting you unless you squash it. I would never squash a bee. But I don’t fancy waking up to room full of them one morning. Cant remember if I mentioned this on here before, I probably have, I repeat everything. A number of years ago when my daughter was about 10 i put her in charge of keeping her room tidy and clean as a way to earn her pocket money. It was the summer and one night I went up to kiss her goodnight, she had one of those beds that was a high bunk with a desk underneath. I climbed the ladder and noticed a black thing on the corner of the cornice, she had a bad fear of spiders so I said nothing hoping she wouldnt notice it. Next morning I went into her room. It was like the scene from a horror movie. About 200 blue bottles either flying around in a zombie state or clinging to the walls. What I had seen the night before was not a spider curled up but a blue bottle that had just hatched. Urgh. It was horrendous trying to get rid of them . Turns out there was a peach in her bin she hadnt got rid of and it was full of maggots. 🤮 🦟🦟🦟🦟 The positive part of this story is that my daughter is no longer is afraid of spiders.

Could have been worse. You're lucky it was just an infested peach you found. They are quite partial to dead animals and a jobby now and again.

A quick look on Wikipedia shows some interesting mobsters born around that time, & a couple are still alive. I suppose it's quite likely that a descendant would choose 'Slasher' as their ganster nickname...let us know how the search goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
