I’m not entirely sure why, but today’s the day the ladybirds swarm it seems. Hopefully Wikipedia will provide the answers because I’m a little bemused. There are hundreds of the little blighters crawling around on the outside of the house (that I can see, sneaky little assassins these ladybirds so I expect the obvious ones are a ruse) and doing their general random wandering while drunk thing that all ladybirds do.
Anyone else noticed this going on, or are they thronging to my house like zealots who’ve discovered a God moving in to the neighbourhood? Hmm, God of voracious, carnivorous little speckly things, I quite like that!
Maybe they’re waging war on the plastic bags. Yes, the plastic bags. Count them – the ones lining the bins, the plastic bags holding random stuff, the plastic bag holding all the other plastic bags we keep because they might come in handy (for instance for lining the bins and putting random stuff in). Looking harmless, thin, crinkly and disposable, but secretly harbouring non-biodegradable thoughts of dominion. Using humanity as not only a form of reproduction, but a source of carbon deposits to be converted by time and pressure into crude oil products from which a new generation of plastic bags may be made. And nearly every time you shop, you invite yet more into your home! Which is the real danger? Which?
This is a government safety warning.
It’s a theory certainly! Am trying to restrict the influx of plastic bags in my flat at the moment, unfortunately as I remembered on the way to Waitrose on Saturday, I look a prize twat walking down the street with the little lady’s Bag for Life or whatever slung on my shoulder like an over-sized man-bag…
