on the purpose of wasps Tuesday: August 28th - 2007

whilst collecting my washing from the line on my return from greenbelt i discovered a large spider had set up home on a clothes peg.  there’s always one.  this one had caught a wasp.  i thus felt a warmth towards the spider.

this, i believe, is the purpose of wasps – to give us warm feelings towards spiders.

now all i need to do is find the purpose of seagulls.  possibly it’s to give us a warm feeling about shotguns?  hmm.

Ant Day Thursday: July 19th - 2007

yesterday was sunny – at last!

so, today, all the ants finally made an appearance.  five, six, seven, eight colonies were on the move along the cracks in the pavement as i walked to the station.  even the big fat ones with wings!

how many got squished by pedestrians?  how many washed away in the rain?!  oh, the carnage!  the poor things.

is this the end of ants as we know it?!!!
