The front bedroom was getting quite warm with the sun so I opened the windows to let some air through. Apparently ants were starting a nest in the corner of one of the windows, and few spiders had taken up residence as well. Windows that fully swing open to the inside are not such a good thing in this situation. Full barrier spray has now been applied around both windows and the dead ants vacuumed up.

The day has mostly been good though. I had a nice walk with Mr Woof and have done the weekly cleaning including a change of bed sheets, which are now on the line drying with another load of washing. And tomorrow is predicted to be sunny too.
