I had barely turned the shower on this morning when my mother started banging on the bathroom door. "Shower quick!" she shouted. "Come outside, quick!" So I showered and dressed as quickly as I could and came out of the bathroom to find her hopping up and down in the garden. "Look, look!" she said, pointing up into the magnolia tree. So I look, looked, and this is what I saw:

It climbed to the very top of the magnolia tree, where it curled up for a nap... until the birds found it. The crows kept circling the top of the tree, the magpies sat on Next Door's roof and stared at it, and a very angry mudlark got right in the magnolia and cheeped loudly at it. So it climbed down and stomped down the driveway and along the street.

After that bit of excitement, I went to the bakery, which was staffed by two teenage girls. As I came in, one of them was saying to the other, "So I told him to go and he went out the door, then he came back and I had to chase him out again." She was in the middle of serving me when the other girl said, "Look, there he is again!" I turned to see this persistent rowdy customer, but it wasn't a customer at all. It was a wasp. They were still trying to chase it out the door when I left.
