It may or may not be a result of the heat but the city is infested with wasps this summer. There's no point in sitting on a patio with a drink or a meal, you will be dive-bombed relentlessly. And a bit of advice: avoid the tuna salad, avoid the tuna sandwich. For some unfathomable reason, wasps are crazy about tuna. Stay home. Live on whatever is left in your crisper. Do not venture outside.

There are lots of wasps this year. And bees. And sadly, I'm reading this as I need to head out the door. I would much rather stay home.
The garbage collectors were on strike here recently and it resulted in another city-wide infestation: fruit flies! I still have a few hanging around my kitchen.
Noted. I am wasp phobic.
I got stung by a wasp the other day. I had my arm up, and the wasp must have made a beeline (chuckle) for my armpit. When I put my arm down I guess it was disgruntled and let me know it.
Helen: Major ouchage. The only time I've been stung by wasps were times when I in fact picked them up unknowingly...
I swear I commented on this yesterday but it's not here - all I'll say is "ouch" Helen!
