I love you but you're bad for me

I heard a fascinating item on the 'Today' programme.
Ants are clever and search out 'homes' just as carefully as we do. They check out the neighbourhood looking for a nice little place where the Queen can rule in comfort while the workers work. Sounds a bit like my gaff. Only this Queen works. Something wrong there!

I've always admired ants for their industriousness just like I admire bees and spiders, but that doesn't mean I want them in my kitchen. Why do they scuttle around my bins and worktops making me feel sorry for them whilst at the same time revering them. I'm just awash with conflicting emotions.
Clever creatures or creepy crawlies heading for the sugar bowl:( I'm confused.

Anyway as this Queen gets ready for another day in rubber gloves I'll be thinking about a vegetarian dinner. Chick pea curry with spicy vegetable rice. Might pick up some naans on the way home.
Also must take junk to the tip, got an old telly, bits of wood and other things clogging up the garage in a dangerous way.

So after bopping about under the beams waving a yellow duster around I'll come home to more work...
