2025 - What I did today

Today I'm hoovering and tidying out the summerhouse. You may remember we had a wasp problem,  which hasn't yet been resolved. No nest but just masses of wasps. Reluctantly I nuked them, I couldn't open the place without dozens of the blighters swirling around. I thought I had solved it and persuaded them to go elsewhere but yesterday opened up the place and was greeted once again with masses of swirling wasps, congregating around the eaves with the evidence of starting a nest.  They must be chewing at the wood somewhere unseen. Anyway now I have a carpet of wasp corpses to clear.  So sad really, I wish they'd chosen elsewhere.

Found a nest. I had been looking up, when I should have been looking down. Even if I had looked down it was well hidden in a curl of carpet way at the back, behind finiture. It's good the at least have a reason behind the swarms. The wasps had eaten away at the carpet to make the nest I think.
