My brother Daniel has acquired a house pet. His name is Warren and he is a wasp. We think because it has been so mild of late and the heating on, he has come out of hibernation. I think he could well be a queen wasp, nestless and lost, because he is rather large for a regular wasp.
Affy comes into the kitchen and if Warren is awake and buzzing around, he holds his hand out and he lands on Affys finger, then affy gets some honey and feeds him up. Everyone has gotten rather fond of old Warren, even the cat chases his around. We often have to shout at him because he gets on the sofa or poo’s everywhere, but really he is quite well behaved for a wasp, he just goes off into his hole above the light and sleeps. Good old Warren!

Gee and I were sat on the sofa just now, wondering ”weather to have a burger or chips, or, what the shrapnel in my back pocket could afford, when i noticed, out the corner of my eye…”
… oh no, wait, wrong words..so we were sat there eating grapes and gee said ‘i wonder what the record for having a grape in your mouth is without chewing it?

So we had a race, 3,2,1 in they went and we sat there for about 3 minutes, it was really hard work! and took some photos but mine kept flying out when i laughed because it was tucked under my lip, but it still counted towards the race ‘cos i put it right back in…

I cooked tea and everything with my grape in, and i bet gee £500 that he wouldnt be able to eat his tea with the grape still in his mouth, unchewed! He thought it would be easy!

My culinary skills had delighted my eyes and sense of smell for too long and after 27 minutes i chomped it up! it was so delicious and juicy, gee went to about 30 minutes, so i guess he won, but i still hold the record for most binsacks full of rubbish in the wheelbarrow up to the top of the drive, 9 full ones!! WAYHEYYYY!
