I got to see Flying Ant Day for a change. Sat under the parasol on the patio this morning, coffee beside me cooling down to the right temperature, reading a magazine, when I noticed an odd haze. Looked up to see a mass of flying insects, all heading skywards, slightly diagonally on the very light breeze. The lawn was a shimmering carpet of fussing ants escorting the winged emergents, who looked about for a moment, checked for wind direction and just launched straight up. Absolutely mesmerising, from a dozen or so points in the lawn. 30 minutes later it was all over - the odd straggler wandering around or possibly a newcomer from a different colony a few doors away. Such an amazing sight.
Sorry Seeker - might not your cup of tea per your comments on the other thread, but it was fascinating for me. Was it Flying Ant day today for the rest of you?

You are guilty of MP abuse, if he was an ethnic a football player or on TV you would have the thought police round your house.

Brilliant (and far too rare) ride this morning, up around Rutland Water. For a short while, from about Rockingham racetrack, I was behind a small group including a black curvy with a luggage rack. Lost them at a set of lights though. Anyone from here?

A party needs to have members seeing eye to eye/compromising on votes to work for the overall. We can't always have everything our way as Society is made up of a lot of people and circumstances - some of which work for us, some don't. The MP's & the PM are all puppets. If you want change speak to the puppet masters - the people with the money that Bank roll them. |
