Wasps, Firemen and Boxes …
We have now been in Linz for just over a week! What a funny old week it has been. We have been unpacking boxes which I think have been breeding they just seem to keep appearing as we unpack one another two seem to appear!
Oh and we also had the fire brigade at our house! Yes I did say fire brigade… Johnny had noticed that we had a number of wasps flying around lees bed room window, Johnny quickly realised we had a wasps nest in the roof!
We spoke to our landlady about the wasps and she said she would deal with it! Later that night she came around about 9pm saying that the fire brigade would be here in about 10 minutes! We were both very confused…. But sure enough we look out of the window and there was a fire engine! and a whole bunch of firemen they had come to get rid of the wasps nest! They went out and had a look at the wasps they chatted a little bit and then looked some more. Then a few minutes later one of the firemen walk in all dressed in the stuff you see beekeepers in when they go for the honey and another one in shorts and t-shirt with a big torch! A couple minutes later we heard a big commotion outside it soon became clear that the man without the protective clothing and been stung about 3-4 times! What a surprise!…. While the other put the powder into the nest!
The next morning when we woke up we looked out onto the balcony it was a wasp genocide! They covered the balcony it was a wasp carpet. So that was our first night here! We felt it was a great way to announce that the Fisher’s had arrived!
