Twitching.

Gesturing people.

Why?

We had started our day at 2:00 am in order to travel to our destination in time.

Our group was standing outside the retreat center with our baggage, waiting to load the bus. It was quite unexpected for a group rising at such an early hour to be so energetic…

Using my skills at detection I discovered that there had been an influx of ants overnight. Rebellious ants who did not appreciate our noble mission.

We managed to rid our persons of their tiny pincers, but the more cunning among them had managed to stowaway with our baggage.

The people sitting at the back of the bus received regular reminders of these extra passengers. A reason for dancing and celebration indeed!

It certainly gave me a better understanding of the saying, “ants in your pants,” (or skirts in my case).
