It would save a lot of trouble in the long run. Thanks for the birthday wishes, though in fact the birthday hasn't happened yet! I predated a couple of posts, so that when I launched it, it wouldn't have that bare "Hi! This is my first post" look about it. The festivities and celebrations will be in a couple of weeks time. And welcome to Ireland and also the weird world of blogging. I read through your posts and saw more of Ireland than I've ever seen!! I've never seen the Luas [let alone been on it]. The last time I was in the Guinness Brewery was back in the 60s. I've never seen the Blarney Stone. I've never seen the Viking Duck. I stick to the mountains!! It's more peaceful there.

It got to the stage were I was annoying Herself as she was trying to read.. "Would you ever sit down and stop playing with those wasps!" Needless to say, I didn't. It was too much fun [and good exercise]. John McE - Receding a bit at the temples, huh? That's old age! Gaye – I think they were just incredibly stupid.

Each encounter I had with bees and wasps saw me stung in places that noone would believe. Fair enough the first time I was poking a wasp nest (can we call it nest?) with a stick but I was only 7. Many stings later... Perhaps your fly swatter is in fact a magic wasp wand in disguise. "Confundo!" or "Imperio!". Oh I know it's "Stupefy!" I am impressed.

It might be strange importing dead hornets from France for recycling? John - Sorry. I'm not that well up on tennis players. Bjorn Borg? Robert B - An interesting concept. Though the crisp smack of the swatter was enough for me [not to mention the crickets exploding out of the grass]. Nick - Next time, I'm bringing a full tennis racquet. ;) Gaye - Not once. It was strange as I was obviously a threat. I think they were just stupid. John McE - WHAT! ARE YOU STUPID? CAN'T YOU <em>SEE</em> THAT WAS MY OWN SERVE?
