How about a CO2 laser from a laser cutter rigged up to robot arm and some video cameras for aiming? Slice the little ****ers in half.

I am looking for an agressive action plan against the mutant monster wasps that attacked me all last summer. When do I need to start, around now?

Apparently I need to setup x3 fake nests and then in summer set up some traps, what else can I do?

Spotted another bumble bee.

What it was doing up here on the 5th floor, I dunno.

I spotted one this lunchtime. Tasty.

That sounds a good idea.

Are they like little mousetraps?

With a bit of jam instead of cheese?

Same theory - they are containers with an attraction trigger that they get stuck inside, last year for me it was usually a glass of red-wine

this year am going blue peter style to make a few like these with plastic waterbottles:

Apparently snowdrops are out in force in the NE. Quite a few bushes/trees/plants are in bud already and the tulips and daffodils are sprouting nicely.

Snow Drops and Crocuses in full bloom in S.Yorkshire. Grass doesn't appeared to have even noticed that it was supposed to stop growing.

I've seen quite a few bees today. Yesterday about 4 lizards and the day before a Coyote and a Buffalo.

Ironically, a Coyote is faster than a Road Runner, so Wylie E didn't need to cheat. Dick Dastardly too, had the fastest car, he was always in the lead, stopped to cheat and ended up losing.

Felt quite springy yesterday.

But the bastards at the BBC have changed the weather from dry to wet for this morning since I went to bed.

I do apologise to the bastards at the BBC. It's metcheck showing rain. Beeb's showing just one drop at 10am, so hopefully we'll be able to duck that one.

Crocuses are out in Kent & Daffs on their way

In North Wales its full of Crocuses and daffodils. And Lambs.

But also wind. A biting wind. And the usual rain.

Any Road Runners?

Last week I saw a bumblebee.

Today I saw a butterfly.

It was down the garden but quite clearly a butterfly.

I think it was looking for flowers.

Sadly it was out of luck.
