The cold that has been the bane of my life for a couple days is finally mostly gone. I'm still having a bit of trouble with how dry the air is in this place though. In an attempt at cheap & easy humidification of my bedroom, I bought a budget aromatherapy oil-burner, one of those things where oil floats in a shallow dish of water heated by a candle.

So the last few nights I've basically filled the dish to the brim with water, maybe put a drop of olbas oil in it, and left it to burn itself out. I'm not sure that it's helped vastly, but it certainly hasn't done any harm.

This morning, whilst trying to get organised, I came to a bag I bought off ebay recently, something to keep the pads, books, and pens I seem to require at all hours of the day in. I hadn't done anything with it so far, so as I was in an organisey mood, I started putting things into it - pens, ink, paper, etc.

Then at one point, I looked back at it, only to spy a wasp sitting on it.

A damn wasp. In November.

My normal strategy would be to grab a glass and up-end it over the thing to stop it flying away. But the glass I had in my room at the time was a pint glass (Because I was trying to stay hydrated) and still half-full. No good at all. I needed something NOW.

All that was available was the glass dish from the oil burner. So I used that.

Having trapped the little monster, I would then usually find a swatter, lift the glass, and kill it. However, the glass dish is fiddly and shallow, and really not the kind of thing I want to mess about with with a wasp under it...

What was needed, I felt, was a way of slowing the wasp down.

The first choice for slowing down buzzy insects is hairspray - gums them right up, they just drop out of the air. But I don't even have a comb, let alone hairspray.

So, second choice: Cool it down. Insects aren't warm-blooded.

So I stuck it in the freezer under that glass dish and left it there for a while.

When I came to remove it, it was quite emphatically slowed down.

No longer even seeing the point of wasting time swatting it, I just lobbed it out of the front door, into the driving rain.

That'll teach the evil little bastard to try surviving through November.

Question is... what should I leave as feedback on eBay for this item..?
