Hotting up here in the South, 23+C last night The ants are geting a lot more active; the Messors are squeezing out of their tank and picking up the canary seed he chucks out on the work top, honestly what will they get up to next! (That's the canary "Pip", that chirps on all the videos). I have had to get the fans out, as both dogs are feeling the sudden change, and can't stop, panting. The ant room was 22C when I got up this morning, no wonder there was student parties and BQ's on this estate last night, I could smell the waft of burgers coming through my bedroom window. We have a UNI here now just down the road, and this estate is now known as student city, as landlords buy up the cheaper housing association houses. I hope this good weather keeps up for our holiday to north Devon in June

Hottest day in 40 years today. It was raining before I went out running, boy did I regret it! I felt like I was dying for the last ten minutes I have noticed a huge increase in my colonies as well and I am grateful for this.

Just come back with the dogs, it is extremely hot out there! It should have been a nice walk down the woods, but this whole estate just wreaks of burgers and sausages this afternoon. Yes the dreaded BQ season is on us, but they shouldn't stink like they do, it's enough to put you off burgers and sausages for life, they must be the cheaper sort full of fat! Wood says to me once I am indoors, "Shall we have a burger for tea?"

I am guilty of this! Grilling southern friend chicken on the BBQ now I like southern fried chicken myself, but feel sorry for the friend you are grilling. Didn't know the Welsh were cannibals? Better be careful in case Jenny grills me for her tea then.

Have you noticed how we complain about the weather when it's too cold or too hot, but we never say anything when it is just right and neither hot or cold.
