Top tip, don't know how it works but it does - place conkers* in the corners of your room and other places that you want protecting (?) from spiders. Obviously you'll now have to wait until autumn to get some but bear it in mind - it really does work.

I'll keep that in mind. Don't mind too much if they keep to themselfs, it's just when they encroach on my personal space that we have a problem.

Had a giant flight of bees take a journey through the garden earlier. Like something out of a film, the noise!

Needless to say we evacuated the garden quickly, and luckily they didn't stay for long. They came back going the other way later.

Luckily on both times the wife wasn't here, she can't stand them.

Ireland gets some sun for a change which means a bit of heat.
In typical fashion its the week I am out on an island with no running water.

Aye lets make the most of it because I have no doubt that it will be pissing down next week

There's a bunch of cute student girls drinking beer in the garden on the other side of the lane, across from my house, It's warm. I've been good and gone to the gym and now I have a bottle of Peroni gran reserva to drink. It's almost as chilled and nice as it was when I was in Madrid a few weeks ago.

Life is good. Summer is ace. Beer + Sun + Girls.

Summer doesn't start till 21 June.

And anyways, since I work in 110-130' heat, anything less than 100 feels cool and refreshing. That's about 45c, and 39c.

Oberon · 05-24-12, 08:40 PM

Hooray for summer...

Now I can't sleep...stupid heat...

Summer here translates to daily rainstorms(some being only 5-10 minutes long), humidity levels of 60-90%(which the rainstorms don't help), the feeling of being stuck in a sauna outside,Insects and lots and lots of mosquitoes.

We get plenty of small mosquitoes, and then big ones like this:

Banana Spiders:

We also get water beetles:

And these little glow beetles(the only good bug to come around this time):

Oh the joys of South Florida.
