The Thing!!

Wednesday, 9 May 2007

Had a VERY rough night last night. Didn’t know which end to point at the porcelain first. Finally got to sleep around 04:30 but still woke up at 07:00. It’s amazing what two and a half hours of sleep can do for a chap! Like maim for instance.

Also, during the night I heard what sounded like a B-52 coming in on a bombing run. Went into the kitchen and there was the biggest, and angriest hornet I have ever seen in my entire life. I have to say that it scared the crap out of me (not a difficult task in the circumstances) as they can be very aggressive. And this one was seriously pissed off!

I had to nuke it with the equivalent of 200 liters of Sarin before it finally gave up the ghost. I took that picture of it next to a ruler to give some idea just how big it was.
