Killing Fields

We had the pest controller round again. He'd warned us there'd be more wasps along shortly. This time he had three nests to destroy- two under the eaves and one in the raspberry patch.

Ailz asked him if he'd ever been stung. He said, Only twice- and both times last week when he was out driving in his car.

The chap who owns the next field- or his son or whoever- makes a lot of banging noises. I picture him strolling around his property with a small bore rifle- shooting birds or rabbits.  If I live here long enough I'll learn not to flinch.
