(what about the last week of October, that's almost November.)
Could be done, maybe.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ June 27 2009, 5:56 PM BSTWent out today. Realised I had made a terrible mistake, far too bloody hot. Horrible. I think I'll stay indoors until this summer thing passes. How people can enjoy being baked is quite beyond me. Idiots.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ June 27 2009, 5:56 PM BSTI think it's around 28c, but that's hot for here! What's more, the weather said it may go into the early thirties next week.

It's a Fu Man Chu type image you realise ?
Like all the best baddies in Bond fillums..
Out on the deck as the sun goes down and watching hundreds of bats eat their dinner. It's not easy capturing the flitting critters on a camera phone at dusk.
I live near a winery and the bats put on a hell of a show for us every night.

The bridge in Austin is famous for its nighttime bat exodus, but I hear there's an overpass here in San Antonio that's become almost as good. I need to check it out one of these evenings.
Before we moved our old neighbors had bats in their attic constantly and it warmed my heart to hear the wife scream in the middle of the night because a bat had got into their kitchen. The winery is a week away from their early summer crush which means that we'll have hundreds of them flying around keeping the bugs down. I think its great.
A form of pest control.
I have bats as I live in a semi-rural location. But at the mountain centre I take the school to every year they live in the attic. One very hot night myself and the other staff member were having a beer by the open window for a cooling breeze and a bat flew in. It was a Pipistrelle and they are tiny. However it provided us with the best flying display I have ever seen. In the end we caught it with a fishing net and ate it. Or released it back outside. You choose.
House Martins have a nest next door and they provide me with a flying display every morning and evening. Not bad for a pop band

We have a bat house on the wall of the house in the back garden. Loads of bats near me. They rock.
Just realised my gig starts in an hour and not 5 o'clock... cue major panic.

Nothing feels better than hearing the world's worst neighbor screaming her head off because there's a bat in her kitchen pooing all over the place. Ah memories.
