Spotted this fairly large ruby tailed wasp (about 9.7mm body length) on some wood in the neighbour's garden.
It seemed to be more interested in having a clean than in what I was doing which is fairly unusual for these wasps.

We enjoy it, and I daresay your neighbour is entertained by your fairly frequent invasions..
