Preparing for Winter V

MingVase

Not as such mary but they are getting excited about possible Polar Low (or maybe its a Polar vortex?) and there are mutterings about a rerun of 2010....

Just had a look at the Weather Without Technology site.  He's got his autumn forecast up but I'm not sure I follow it.  He seems essentially to be saying autumn will be wet
Well, duh!

No rain here either. Much as I’d like a few more warm days, right now I want it consistently cold so the wasps hurry up and abandon their nest!

I did start reading his site but he got on my nerves with his self importance....Maybe I read him wrong, I dunno...

Greenbee we’re inundated with wasps too, I don’t think they are nesting in the house though 🤞I think it’s the apple trees drawing them in, well the windfalls 

I was reading yesterday that mild temperatures over winter will be more common, and HOT HOT summers more the norm - I really want aircon for the bedroom, I love the heat, but not to sleep in 😩

I haven't seen a single wasp this year.

Now I'll get swarms of them , they LISTEN.

You can have mine. They don't seem to realise that it's time for them to leave and go and get drunk on IM's apples so they die happy...

I haven’t seen a wasp this year either. I’ve had a few wasp stings over the years. I got a wasp up my sleeve a few years ago that stung me 5 or 6 times, very painful. I hope I haven’t spoken too soon.

Wasps keep perching on the tap handle at our allotment
