AHRG ANTS.

I've been seeing some come in the sill, but couldn't figure out where they were going.

Found it: golden syrup bottle in the cupboard. For trace amounts, it wasn't even sticky and cap closed. So now that's in a ziplock and they're rooting around for something else. Which they shouldn't find, I keep things pretty locked down. But they will.

Timelies all!

Listening to Sassafrass singing about the Norse creation myth.

AHRG ANTS.

Used coffee grounds at the entrance point. Seriously. I tried so many things that would work for a day or two. I think it's been two years since I sprinkled coffee grounds into the crack in the floor and I haven't seen ants inside since.

I want to see Mad Max but I the show I've been working on has so much video assaulting the senses that I think I need to take a day of relative quiet. Maybe tomorrow.

Can't sprinkle on vertical surfaces. I've got diatomaceous powder, but will only use that if they don't go away because messy.

Wow, Jessica, that house is beautiful! I hope you get it. The bathtub in the middle of the large room reminds me of my brother's farm: they have that kind of setup, too. It's a bit odd, but entertaining.

I just spent an hour cutting back the overgrown pomelo tree next to my house. For the last few years it has been dropping rotting fruit on my driveway and it's hard to prune because it has horrible inch-long thorns. I finally borrowed my BIL's lopper, which helped, and now I have too much green waste to fit in my bin!

Also I have a bunch of pomelos. What can be done with them? I shall have to explore the internet.

I fell victim to the marketing gurus at Hostess. The Twinkie packages have the Twinkies offset from each other, and they have overalls and goggles printed on them over the Twinkies. Twinkies make excellent Minions. My package has Kevin and Stuart

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this excellent address at Jessica's possible house! (Or maybe somebody has; I had a nap this afternoon and am not yet up to full faculties.)

ETA: I love it. Even more than the last one I loved.

I slept in after yesterday's excitement and have been drinking coffee and lazily browsing the internets. I think I'm going to run some errands before the rain hits, and then spend the rest of the day reading and watching Netflix.

I want to see Mad Max but I the show I've been working on has so much video assaulting the senses that I think I need to take a day of relative quiet.

I wasn't bothered by the sound of Mad Max while I was watching it, but going from that to a very loud sports bar was too much. You probably should take that day. And also let me know if you'd like company, because I think I'd like to see it again.

I love that house.

yay dates!

and eat kitten eat

strangely there is Formula one racing on my tv

House!! Date!!!!!!! CAT!!!!

This is pretty much how I feel, catching up. That's a great house, Jess!

Amy, I hope the date went well.

I am trying to convince myself to make food that I have in the house, rather than order delivery. This is my micro piece of adulting for the day. Must. Convince. Self.

eta: I hope tiny kitten eats, meara!
