Sleepy wasp

I have a great fear of sleepy wasps. This one was perched too close to the handle that shuts the guinea pigs out of the run. This made the evening routine a lot longer than it should have taken.

This is the normal drill:
1. Open back door to announce that I've come home and it's time to come in for evening vegetables.

2. When all hungry guinea pigs have run into the covered eglu from the run, shut the door to the run and open the eglu to pick up a guinea pig.

3. When all four guinea pigs have been transported indoors, then feed them a fine vegetable selection (cucumber, celery, broccoli and carrot were on today's menu).


Steps 1 and 3 were carried out as per normal, but step 2 went like this:

2a. All hungry guinea pigs are inside the eglu, but there's a wasp near the run door handle. Nevermind, let's open the eglu door anyway.
And I only manage to catch old Trick before the others leg it back into the run.

2b. Say 'vegetables' a lot in the hope that the three youngsters will come back into the eglu.
Nope, Sid starts popcorning in the excitement and all three start eating grass.

2c. Fetch the camera to blip the wasp.
This also passes the time until I manage to catch all three: Sid, then Sybil and, after a very long while, Moschops.

Phew. But I did manage to snap a wasp. It's more hairy than I expected a wasp to be!
