There are, however, certain consequent developments worthy of consignment to Mordor, viz:
A murder of crows, which has recently taken up residence in our garden and is systematically seeking to drive off all other bird life.
The increased prevalence of insects and arachnids, all keen to gain entry through the windows left open due to the incredibly hot weather (especially at night, when the lights are on inside ...
).
The alarming multiplication of wasps nests in the brick-work of our house. We've already had the exterminator round to deal with one, and now his services are required for a further two (and probably others as yet undiscovered).
(Apologies to all those who hold to the belief that all life is sacred. I generally agree, but draw the line at wasps and mosquitos.
)
