Daily Moan

Never seen a cockroach here. Rarely see ants. Geckos though... Presumably that's why there are no ants.

To keep ants away from our cats food we put a saucer of water down and place her food bowl in the saucer. She never has any ants get to her food.
So the solution is build a moat around your house it will be ant free after you evict the local inhabitants.

I’ve been frantically cleaning and wiping and mopping as well as putting out the diatomaceous earth. They are running amok and getting into sealed containers.

to get rid of ants, buy some slow-acting poison bait, if you dont like the idea of chemical stuff then a mixture of sugar and borax might work. the worker ants carry it back to the nest to kill the queen.

baits will work on the colony, and then use white vinegar and water to thoroughly clean the trails, and seal obvious entry points around pipes etc. to prevent new ants from entering. and you need to be OCD level obsessional about not leaving even a tiny crumb of food on any utensil, jar, work surface or floor of the kitchen.

If getting gray facial hair isn't bad enough, I had to check my email and it was headed by an email advert 'Dating for single seniors'

Grey pubes are just around the corner.

^^Awful, ain’t it. Only gets worse.


Yet another tribe of ants have moved in. This lot is big black ants and they are invading my washing machine. Put in a load of dog blankets last night and it refused to work. Checked this morning and found f’n ants.

Why do you not use the British English spelling, given that you're a Brit... is the Q I was about to ask.... but....


Both "grey" and "gray" refer to the exact same neutral color between black and white. The difference is purely geographical.

• Gray is the standard spelling in American English.
• Grey is the standard spelling in British English (including the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand).

Turns out that with an e is Brit-O, and with an a is Yank-O.


For some reason that I always presumed it was the other way round.
