Francesca's Thoughts

Good evening,

I have one thing I can’t talk about yet and a room full of wasps. Let me fix the grammar of that sentence. There are Things afoot about which I cannot talk (yet), and one of them is a big-ish thing I’m looking forward to. Separately, my place of work now has a wasp room. A room full of wasps. It didn’t used to be full of wasps. Normally it contains two vending machines of dubious functionality and a fire exit. Today, which is a nine-hour shift, the room is populated by wasps. I suspect it will be populated by wasps tomorrow and probably Monday as well.

But I’m not working then, so pfft.

There was no other point to this post than to record the wasp room for posterity, so see you in October!

Look after yourselves,

Francesca
