    It's been warm and wet here so I brought in our front door wreath indoors to dry before I disassembled it.   Ended up with two huge wasps flying around indoors till I managed to get them out again - unstung fortunately.

    The politics thread is still there.

    Yes, but read this https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1079162/non-political-space/p1

    I've been stung by a wasp today. I expect it in warm weather but seems a bit unfair at this time of year  :/

    We were at a garden centre a couple of days ago and there was a massive bumblebee in the flowers.

    This politics thread is still "live" for now @LittleGreyRabbit.

    Pansyface's account is still here, albeit with a private profile which l think it has been for some time. She has asked for her account to be closed, l assume this will be done tomorrow morning as action wasn't taken at the same time as the other politics thread was removed.

    Poor you @raisingirl  😞 was it a dozy queen?
    Hibernating in a glove - stung me right on my fingertip, which is now very swollen. At least it's my left hand (and I'm right handed)

    Ouch, that doesn't seem fair @raisingirl, had you left the glove outdoors?

    I must confess I keep my gardening gloves pegged inside my wellies just inside the kitchen door, both to keep them handy and to keep them warm!

    I saw a wasp outside in the Pansies a couple of days ago, it wasn't a dozy queen.  B)

    In the greenhouse, nice and tidy. If I keep them indoors, they get lost in the heaps of OH's work gloves and disappear.

    It's eased off a bit now  :)

    Nothing wrong with dozy queens if they find less inconspicuous places to doze. I'd have left her alone had I known she was there
