I thought about running but went for a walk instead, a couple of miles turned into over 5.

I don’t think I’ve seen any wasps yet this year. This may have something to do with the lack of fruit on the plum tree.

Are there wasps in Iceland, ITG?
3 miles run early this afternoon.

Club run this evening, I think the session was called double pyramids or something. I didn’t put as much effort in as I should have.

There are wasps here, Columba, but they might have died off already. One can hope. We had a nest one year and after reading lots of instructions about how to remove it, I wimped out and called "the man". [Not sexist. It was in fact a man.]

I found a new use for hand sanitiser yesterday and squirted it on a really annoying wasp on a plate. I then dispatched it with a spoon. If the blasted things didn't sting we would all probably love them the way we do lady birds.

I love wasps, very clever, important & useful creatures until autumn, then they have time to hang around annoying us as they die off. Morning all :-)

Well that’s strange. The wasp sting on my lip isn’t painful anymore, but the swelling has got bigger. I’ll put it down to old age.

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
