Re: Cicadas!
They were out in full force yesterday morning in Hagley Park, Chch. It was a warm morning, maybe it tempted them out. Love the sound of them. Oh yeah, and my cat ate one the other week. It was still buzzing as she swallowed, what a way to go

Excellent, so if they're not out there this year reproducing then we can look forward to a similarly peaceful summer in five or six years time.

I can enjoy the sound of the waves from the beach close by instead
One of my favourite sounds - crushing waves.
