Quite often they go in and out through airbricks or vents. Puff some powder through the vents so the ants carry it into their nest.
There is no vent in the conservatory.

The wind has suddenly got up and the rain has started. :rain:
It's in for the rest of the day.
Some domestics will be done, the washing was done yesterday as the sun was shining.
MrsP is threatening to paint the bedroom walls :ohmy:
Another day in paradise. :cuppa:

Consider yourself a lucky man. When my Mrs P threatens the decorating this is a threat directed at the male member of the household. 😳

Now a TV question. We have been watching The Terror which I thought a bit fantastical. Then @Tenkaykev told us it's based on fact. I don't want to know the ending so I can't Google this but I want to know about the "polar bear."

A giant polar bear is supposedly stalking the crew. So far it has bitten both legs of the expedition leader, dragged him to a fishing hole and thrown him in. Next the bear knew the Eskimo woman was starving so caught a seal and left it outside her igloo, she had it for tea. Then the bear is sitting on an ice ledge above a tent where the guards are keeping watch, swings down a paw and yanks a soldier through the tent roof before taking chunks out of him. There have been some other blood soaked incidents.

Now you'll have to forgive my scepticism over how real this portrait of a polar bear is. :laugh:

Do we think this bear is real? I feel it can only be some sort of illusion to describe the sailors' state of mind. Either that or my feeling the whole programme is fantastical rather than real is correct.
It is a well established fact that polar bears are lovely cuddly creatures.
Some of them have been known to live on top of glacè mints.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I've been watching that as well. Apparently the treck actually happened, however everyone was lost so they have no idea what happened. Slight poetic license I think, and apparently there is going to be a second series.:laugh:
