Ants, it seems, rather like to tramp through my flat in dizzying numbers all throughout summer. My peaceful attempts at using tea tree oil and cucumbers and other ant deterrents work for a few days at a time, but then my flat (no rooms are off limits, apparently) becomes a seething mass of tramping little feet.

And now they’re in my laptop! Perhaps it’s because my laptop is beautifully small and lovely, and thus is a fitting home for A ZILLION ANTS, but I’m unimpressed.  They clearly don’t understand that my attention span is so slight that the mere presence of a shifty little critter on my laptop screen is enough to capture my interest in the same manner as a shiny thing.
