Wasps!!! - Got a nest in the compost heap right by the back gate. Kids no doubt will find it. Also next to our bee “meadow”, so hope can only kill wasps not the bees.
Stripy little dickheads. Though, part of me admires them.
Imagine, you are presented with a fucking TITAN creature, it’s tens of thousands of times bigger than you. So, what do they do? They charge headlong at the titan’s face shouting “I’LL STAB YE WITH MY ARSE!”
I attempted to bat a wasp away with my flip-flop once and I missed. The wasp stung me on the palm of my hand and my flip-flop went sailing off the balcony when I let go of it in shock screaming “it’s fucking stung me!” The pain up my whole arm was not fun at all. That was the last time I tried to pick a fight with a stripy little dickhead.
Ouch, wasp 2 - 0 Juniper I guess! Did you manage to get your flipflop back? I’m imagining a scene where you go to retrieve it and the wasp is waiting haha.
I know this’ll sound like a tall tale, but once many years ago I had a wasp getting all up in my face, I’d just been watching boxing so without thinking I jabbed it… and punched it clean out of the air, it sat there on the floor all dazed. Weren’t expecting that, were you ya stripy little dickhead!
Hahah, a story for the ages! “I once KO’ed a wasp!”
I did get the flip-flop back without round two, thankfully.
