Today, a new stereoscopic camera arrived. A Fujifilm 3D W3 with is an improvement on the W1 I have been using for a few years.

When I have got the bits together, and tested the W3, the W1 will be up for grabs. It may end up in the classifieds here before I look awkwardly towards eBay.

Some rechargeable batteries - hoping the charger turns up soon, though they had enough charge in them to last today (AAA, wireless mice and remotes that chew 'em somehow).

Today I bought a fly swatter for £1. Though now missing victims to target.

Wasps are good, they go for the flies. It only becomes a problem if you have jam lying about. I never kill wasps as they predate on all the pests in the garden and around the house.

In which case you could catch it and release outside. I was looking at the idea of natural repellants and apparently lavender and basil are good for that. Keep a plant in your room and that might be enough to stop them coming in.

I'd only woken up lol. And if you come into my house with an in-built weapon you'll be very lucky to leave alive :lol:

Surely a plant's just gonna bring in more of the little scrotes? And anyway, I haven't got room for one of those dancing ones from the 80's :lol:

I googled natural insect repellants. Some are clearly better than others. ;)

One night in a B&B with no children. The thought of sleeping for an entire night uninterrupted.... can't wait!

It's for our anniversary although truth be told I'll miss the kids terribly.
