An Uninvited Guest

I am not a heavy sleeper, nor have I ever been. I think too much! Last night, though, at some unearthly hour, whilst in bed, I distinctly felt something creeping over the top of my head. I swiftly flicked over my hair, turned on the light and got up to investigate. Nothing.

I got out of bed, lifted the pillow and shook it. Still nothing. I looked at the bed and, at its foot, there was the culprit, a dirty big cockroach! I hit the pillow on the bed to scare it away and, indeed, it ran underneath the bed.

I wonder if it's still there? I'm glad I didn't kill while it was on my head. It would have made a dreadful mess!

It was stormy here last night. When I turned on the television set in my room the Sky News channel and BBC World weren't working; and the gardeners are clearing up the palm leaves outside as I write.

Yikes!!!

I'm sure your home is lovely - how did the blighter gain access???

Over the years we have found bats, birds and a mouse in the living room. I think they come down the chimney. Must get a wire thingy on it someday.

Hope you don't have nightmares re your roach...

Ha ha! Never had the pleasure of a roache's company at home, ever, Sharon. I'm still on holiday at the Conquistador Hotel in Tenerife.

Oh Lordy - hilarious - I knew there'd never be a dirty old roachy in your lovely home!!!

Thanks for the laugh - roaches in Belmont - perish the thought - hee hee...

Sorry for even thinking it!!!

Try a moth infestation, I had 2 pairs of Magee cords chomped by the little buggers, and about 5 sweaters.

Though not on holiday, to be fair.

an infestation by moths sounds even worse. The little devils have expensive tastes!
