At around 5.45am this morning I had a very rude awakening, I was sound
asleep but I must have felt something on my face, I brushed it off only
to have it sting me.
After a hunt of around 5 mins I found the bugger and killed it, it
turned out to be a Queen Wasp.it certainly woke me.
Not the way to have my Wasp desensitization put to the test. It's close
to 6 years since I was last stung and getting on for 20 years since I
had the course, this is only my 4th sting since the treatment.
Now 4 hours on my cheek is throbbing but no great reaction, so the
treatment is still working.
I must say I've never seen a wasp this late in the year let alone been
stung by one in December.

Ouch, how nasty! Glad the treatment's worked though. We had a wasp
flying around the bathroom the other day and one was trying to get in
the window of my study. Makes me wonder if they intended to head for
the attic!
