Nasty, hope they go soon.

We have a nest in the false roof above our bathroom window (it's a Dorma type window so they, luckily, arent in the loft) and it's been there all summer. The dogs have a raised twin water bowl outside and I picked it up a few weeks ago and one of the damn things was on there, got me right on the bit of skin between thumb and forefinger.

It took quite a few days for the pain and swelling to go down so I sympathise! I hate it when there is a wasp round me and I go nuts and somebody says "stand still!". Hmmm, not likely, i'd rather take my chances and run!

The last time I got stung, I was about 6. The doc told my mum that the next sting might be the last Nowadays, I sit in the garden and shoot them with my air gun!
