gemfyreI forgot to put this in my last post.
This must be the official "first good rains of the season" according to nature. There were winged ants EVERYWHERE. They were all around Matt's place, then mum rang and I found that they were all around our place too, so it must have been the ants going "woohoo, weather is good, let's all find new nests and start new colonies!"
This caused the birds to have a field day. Honeyeaters, wattlebirds, peewees, a wagtail sitting in the driveway leaping up and grabbing them out of the air, a black-faced cuckoo shrike on a wire doing the same thing, doves eating dead ones off the ground. Twas very cool. :)

Date: 2003-03-31 11:16 pm (UTC)Was hanging out listening to "Native Tongue" on Luke's stereo and getting all nostalgic ('...we will always be fire and ice...') and then went to the kitchen to get a drink of water and they're all over the floor. Then I went into the laundry and they were all over the place there, too. So I shut the cats in my room and got busy with the flyspray .
Problem is, there's about a half cm gap under the back door, which is how they were getting in. *wails* I live in a dump!
