This has not been an excellent week for me.
It’s too scorching to be outdoors and too many big spiders round to be inside.
Each time I stroll previous a window there are stink bugs on it which I’ve to take care of (I’m not afraid of stink bugs).
At night time, once I open the shutters and the home windows to place the screens in I get stink bugs falling on my head and moths flying by.
Within the morning there are hornets and moths on the screens, so I open the home windows to brush them off and flies and… extra stink bugs are available in.
Final week, when it was nice slightly than scorching, we didn’t have bugs in every single place. Both they like the warmth or are attempting to get away from it.
All I do know is that if this retains up I’m going to expire of wine.
And I’m getting bored with listening to me complain.
