eeeeeek

There was a giant cockroach under the washing machine liquid so after shrieks and shakes it has been hoovered to extinction. Spending the afternoon finding new hoover bags as the one full of cockroach was instantly discarded into the bins down the hill is not a good use of a sunny afternoon. Unfortunately the preponderance of sunny afternoons, and mornings, and were it possible, nights threatens a scary Spring and Summer. Nothing like hard frosts and deep and crisp and even for killing beasties off. Come prepared to be brave and resourceful.

No good hoovering cockroaches. Everybody knows that they must be impaled and beheaded. Or they will come back again and again.

Even more eeek. There was a revolting programme on tv about hospital cleanliness that showed that cockroaches must be taken out whole, not stamped on as they otherwise leave eggs. Yuk.
