turpsOur downstairs toilet is on the side of the house, and for a while, I've been hearing a weird noise at ceiling height. At first, I thought it could be a slow leak or something, but no water damage was apparent. So, then I figured it must be the wind hitting the wall. Today I went outside and realised it's actually wasps that are getting into the wall. Now I know every time I'm in there my skin is crawling hearing the noise and knowing it's them moving around the bricks.
Now it's a case of waiting to see how much it'll be to get the problem sorted, as no way can we leave them. Thankfully none have got inside and I've shut the windows that are round the corner from the wasps, but seriously. Wasps. Why?!
It was very rainy and cool this afternoon, but that was nice after the hot days. So I was sitting with the window open next to me with a cup of mint tea and listening to the rain. Though, did have to answer the door to a parcel delivery man who brought me some dishwasher tablets to test. Which great, rub it in considering the dishwasher still isn't fixed. Now it's sunny and hot again, I suspect all the plants will have jumped up another few inches by tomorrow.
Tonight we're having a tomato sauce made with a load of different veggies and especially chopped courgettes. Soon we're going to look like the things. So if you follow me on Insta and I post something where I have a green tinge, you know why.

With all the veggies you're eating I wouldn't be suprised if you start turning into a vegetable yourself soon :-)

It's raining again today, in fact it hasn't stopped since I woke up. It's nice to have the contrast of hot sunny days and these rainy cool ones.
I think you're right *g*
I've actually been googling baked courgette recipes today. So, that's next on my list to try.
