Unless you're lucky enough to be in Iceland or Spain, you won't see the total eclipse, but for most of the UK, at least 90% of the sun will be disappear behind the moon, and for some parts over 95% will. Depending on where you are, the peak will be between 19:02 and 19:16. It will be the best eclipse in the UK in 27 years. Make sure you don't look directly at the sun, and take proper precautions like our wasp!

And if you haven't already, get your FunCon membership.

Happy Pancake Day! The Angry Wasps love a bit of lemon and sugar (obviously!) but what’s your favourite or most unusual topping? 🥞

It’s Friday 13th February and Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! It would be the perfect time for a bit of ukulele practice if it weren’t for Oscar insisting on a cuddle first... ❤️🐱❤️

Today is the day that you don't need to worry about the mushrooms running out at breakfast!

St. Brigid is one of the patron saints of Ireland, born around 450 in Co. Louth, before founding a convent in Kildare around 470. The name is also associated with a much older celtic goddess, called Brigid or Bríd, daughter of the Dagda.

Straw effigies of her were said to ensure bountiful harvests, and she is associated with healing and turning water into beer - both via brewing and miraculous means.

We hope St Brigid will ensure a plentiful supply of beer at Funcon 2: Better than a thousand angry wasps! 🍺🍻🍺
