On Vacation

We're off on vacation again.  It's school holiday, after all.  We'll be in Italy this week and the Canary Islands next week.

(It sounds more exotic than it is.  We're driving to Italy to meet old friends and Canary Islands was the very last family package available for last minute wafflers like us.)

I wish you happy summer days.  All it does is rain here, but if it's hot where you are and wasps are a problem try this great trick: put a wet penny or two on the table.  Wasps can't bear the smell of oxydized copper.  Try it, it really works!

Ciao!

  8. I saw the post about the hermit crabs from a year ago. I figured you wouldn't read that, but the painted/decorated shells are toxic and can kill the crab. Just so you know, they are not craft projects. not being mean.

  9. More holiday - you lucky thing! School's started back for us.

    Thanks for that tip about the wet coin.. although I do tend to stop their hearts with a scream otherwise.
