I don't usually pay much attention to what Chris Moyles has to say~in fact don't usually listen~but this a.m he was warning that today would be "flying ant day".Just got back from trip to shops & they're everywhere!!Our garden is the same! Hate the things~2nd only to wasps in horrible creature category.Just hope he was right when he said the plague only lasts a day!!

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

I think I'm going to drive home a little faster than usual (but still within the limit!) tonight and to try and squish as many of them with my windscreen. Then wash them straight off with lots of screen wash.

oh how strange, i haven't seen any flying ants all day, but there were hundreds of seagulls flying round in the distance earlier, i thought that was weird as we normally only get the occasional one being as how we are nowhere near the sea or any rubbish dumps.
well now i know why

Ants.
Lots of Seagulls around here last 2 days, flying ants everywhere, they are really showing up were the cobwebs are.
There was a swarm leaving my compost bin yesterday, fantastic to see, particular as they flew up into the neighbours washing on the line.Blogging at..... www.thecynicalgardener.wordpress.com

They had some in the pool on BB!!
So hoping it's a one day thing & they're all gone tomorrow(& maybe they could take all the wasps with them!!)the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.
