turps: (OMG!)
The wasp man came yesterday and said we got the award for the angriest wasps. Which, thank you wasp man, but it's an award I really didn't want. I was considering spraying them myself with wasp killing foam but realised I was really underestimating how high the wasps were considering you have to go up four steps to the front door, plus, didn't have a ladder. So, wasp man, it was. He turned up in his full beekeeping gear and sprayed them and horrified me even more by saying the slight bulge in the toilet ceiling was part of the nest and that if we'd have left it the wasps would have quadrupled by October and probably burst through the ceiling. He took a video of the angry wasps to put on his FB so I'll have to keep an eye out for that. And ha, he's put it up on FB, you can see it here.

Yesterday we also went to Newcastle to the limb centre yet again. Thankfully, that time it was a short appointment just to make sure James' new leg was working for him. Though, it started a bit frantic as we realised that his appointment was actually half an hour before we thought and we had 30 minutes to get to Newcastle, which is doable if traffic is okay, but just. In the end we arrived a minute late which was fine.

After that, we bought Subway salads for dinner and ate them on Newcastle quayside looking up at the Tyne bridge, home via the horse fields where I got to stroke some ponies and then to the doctors so I could get my B12. Then back for wasp man.

This morning it was lashing down with rain so it felt like a cinema day -- and yeah, I know, to us any day can be a cinema day. We went to see Blinded by the Light and enjoyed it lots. I loved how it was a mix of Bruce Springsteen music and 80s music and fashion that reminded me of my childhood. Despite some uncomfortable moments it was nicely feelgood and just what I was in the mood for.
