And how was your Saturday? Mine was spent cleaning the rental house for a French family who arrived from Sligo three hours later than planned - so there was time to nip out for coffee - twice!
Entertainment came courtesy of my (very kind volunteer) co-scrubber today (Robo) who's terrified of wasps... and this isn't just wasp season... Bushmills was clearly hosting the all-Ireland wasp convention today. Robo couldn't cope. She went nuts and did a totem dance round the table, over to the loos and back towards the counter (much to the amusement of other diners) when a teeny one (wasp, not diner) flew past our table in the Copper Kettle at lunchtime.
Then on the way home, Robo leapt wide eyed and screaming from the car outside the Mace ATM and went running towards the bin (3 new wasps waiting for her there).
And finally, she made a scene IN the car when taking our leave of the French mum who wondered if it was "un mawnster wosp"? Honestly, if it wasn't for the sweaty palms and the clear sense of terror, you'd pay good money to watch her in action. (Anyone got tips on keeping the buzzers at bay?)
More entertainment back in Bangor - "Mamma Mia" (again). Most amusing moment? Meryl Streep doing the star jumps on a bed (and she's what... 50 something?) while a neighbour further up our row (same age bracket) is climbing stiffly over the back of the chair to the aisle because of a locked knee..... sore... but a nice touch of reality!
Hi Etta,
ReplyDeleteVery amusing - there has to be a film in there somewhere! What about "Revenge of the Robo (cop)?
And to get rid of them? Why not position Robo on a garden bench in the middle of said town with an extra large (drippy) ice cream. They should all flock to the one place. Might be an idea to blindfold and gag Robo though.
Lol, now that I'll suggest. My idea was the old vaccination type thing... you know, stick her in apiarist's kit complete with the veiled hat, tuck the trouser legs in etc and walk her into the middle of a bunch of hives. She thinks she might have a heart attack which would defeat the purpose. I think she might be right. But filming... now there's an idea!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely seems to be wasp season. They are everywhere. Steve got stung this week. Nasty little critters.
