Day off again - we'll get to spend it killing wasps.

Yup, we found a nest of wasps under the hedge. They're in the path from the front yard to the back yard and already attacked me when I went to take
out the trash.
I haven't dared to shower them with poison yet. I'm terrified of them and whenever I went out at night, hoards of them are on guard.

Here if you have a wasp infestation the local council deals with it. We had one a while back and a guy came to spray a special powder on their nest,
but he was wearing a full body protective suit.

The council used to do that here a long time ago, but not anymore. Considering how dangerous they can be and how it's a better idea to not do it
yourself, it's odd that they decided to stop with providing that service - if you want to get rid of a wasp's nest you'll have to hire a professional
and in that case be sure to lose a chunk of budget. Not something everybody could afford. And that's how people start to get stupid ideas.
Dad was the big hero today when we went out after dark to introduce them to permethrin. It seems to have been a smaller nest than the last one, my BF
emptied the can on them two years ago. No resistance from the buggers whatsoever.

They're both brave men. My sister's friend got attacked by wasps when I was young child and I've obviously internalised the drama surrounding that
occasion.

I was stung in my foot by a wasp when I was 6 and the pain was so fierce they told me to pipe down, my stepmother was very cross with me about it.
That incident stuck to the point that I got so terrified with them I panic when they come near - unfortunately I smell sweet and do get picked out by
them - and then it doesn't help if you run around in circles to avoid them.
I always looked upon myself as having two phobias - needles and spiders - and the wasps is one I forget. I can't stay calm near them.
Well, YOU try to stay calm when they try to fly into your mouth while you're drinking water.
Evening got extra tense when I found a spider in my bed, but he was removed safely and still resides in a jar upstairs, need to let him out.

Pondered on starting a Youtube channel filled with nonsense videos - inspired when I started to consider the spider I captured my "prisoner", who is
now out on parole.

Grew into Furoshiki, the Japanese art of wrapping things in cloth. Practical and looks neat, simple philosophy.

Business as usual here, but our hens are laying apace, at a rate of at least two dozen a week. We're giving them away to family.

Colleague of mine buried a child for the second time today. His wife had a stillborn baby after 35 weeks of pregnancy last year, this year his baby
was born 6 weeks too early and died within the month.
Such a nice guy, I feel so bad for him...

I've had some pretty bad stuff to deal with in my life, but that confirms how lucky I feel.

BF came over, he's off to Germany to visit a client.
The wasps were regrouping, so we wiped them out together - this time I got to spray.
I got nightmares about wasps last night but I conquered them!

Hahahaha!
Went to the office - we try to get whatever's left of CS in Eindhoven together at times - and all three of us were there. I baked brownies that all
magically disappeared.
