Rude Awakening

This morning we were awoken very early by an odd buzzy sound and cats acting crazy. Max and Tilly were racing around the room and up on the bed.

The cats were chasing a wasp. Unfortunately, they weren't so much catching it as making it very angry.

Fortunately, GLH stepped up to the plate and killed it.

I really, really miss screened windows...

Did he get it with the electronic BUG Snatcher?

Ah, no. The electronic bug snatcher worked for a while. Then it began to lose its suction. It now serves as an ugly statue.

Not true. It trapped the dangerous beast while my wife fetched tissues so I could kill it. And in all fairness it had been out of its charging station for over 8 hours. I tried leaving it out so that I didn't have to run across the apartment in the middle of the night to get it when my wife saw a bug. Bugs were never a problem until I met GL.

eeewww bugs... The non-screened windows in Germany drove me bonkers! It's like they just will not admit that there are flies and mosquitos in summer (they barely admit to having summer - therefore no aircon) I don't like wasps at all.

I got my first nasty buzzy visitor last week... no fun at all. It doesn't even help if I pull down the shades outside... they just crawl through the cracks and fly in the window! Ugh!

I freaked last summer when I kept finding dead bees on the floor ( so glad I never stepped on one!). I once saw screen material sold at Manor that you could somehow affix to your windows... I might have to look into that for this summer...
