Post Tue30Dec14 Ants in Pants


Ants in Pants - a flight into the mountains with 700 chickens and their owner.

The smell and noise were bad but bearable, but the laundry baskets cum crates holding the chickens also brought 1000s of ants on board.

By the time we were half-way to destination we were covered ….fortunately the small, black variety and not the red, biting kind ….and they got everywhere including into the earpieces of my headphones, down my shirt and up my trousers.

The landing was carried out with one walking across my eyelid ….and my nose etc.

To add to the fun one of the chickens got loose, but seemed content to sit on its laundry basket and comment loudly on the world going by.

I was still finding them (ants, not chickens) in various folds and orifices two days later ….and the aircraft needed fumigated.
