To be honest Tesie, I think I have been playing the hero for quite some time now.

We have a wood fire, not something I'd have chosen but it came with the house and is, from an environmental perspective, state-of-the-art!

Some time ago some delightfully-pretty, highly-coloured insects set up home amongst the wood pile...so many of them, so it took so long to disperse each community I found, before I could bring the wood inside.

Thereafter I was super-busy finding, catching and 'outdooring' these creatures.

I'd catch them in a tissue and gently place them near a dead tree my son-in-law cut down, hoping they would gravitate to the tree, and find their community, but in the process I'd whisper, (yes I am a little mad), now go and buy yourself a lottery ticket.

I felt a certain virtue for my caring. Just saying. 🤣🤣😃
