"In other news today, the new long term PPE wear came into force for Hospital staff"!  |

Long term PPE looks better than no PPE?
Games; none. The comedy from home thing on the BBC, no bdt either. Hopeful for another sunny weekend but without children looking over fences into our garden.

I think we should re-vamp the popular quiz show 'What's in Pootle's pockets?'. I'm minded to go for 'What's in stxdpr 's garden?'. |

Morning.
Antblog! Noticeably fewer this morning. Only about a dozen, and none escaped. Maybe there is something in the 'mindless violence' approach after all.

Kill all the ants apart from one. He goes back and brings more. Kill all apart from one. Rinse and repeat. They'll find a new route.

Morning. Games? No. Tv? Two episodes of the rookie. Started reading Raising Steam again, my imgur post yesterday was Terry Pratchett related, and it’s given me the bug to do a full Discworld read through.

Ants are jam stealers, and I'm not having that, not on my watch.
Example:-
Went to work with my wife on a fine summers day. Came back to find a column of them marching from the front door, into the living room and then the kitchen. They then scaled a worktop, where my wife had accidently left a small blob of jam, from her breakfast.
A deal was cut and I must have slippered hundreds of them, with my wife mopping up stragglers. Teamwork at its finest. Then I popped over to Homebase to get some of that spray stuff.
Pharoah ants though, on the other hand, are right bastards. No other word for it.

I have to take many sense of some dodgy projections one of my colleagues gave our FD. The FD has been asked to pay fees around £400k higher than the projections and I have been drafted in to magically fix it. Fun morning so far.

Morning everyone else.
I have a day off work today, although part of it will be spent working.
No games. Couple more episodes of Community though. The pottery class one, and the April fools.
Just had a book delivery from Jeff B. The Wise Man's Fear, and a couple more Rivers of London.

My Dad used to pour petrol on Pharoah ant-hills, I remember them coming up from under the ground on-mass and expiring.
I learnt a valuable lesson that day.

It took me ages to get the right answer. Dozens of guesses, maybe a hundred. I'm not giving it away for free. |
