Just eating last night's leftovers for my lunch whilst reading this.0

I captured a non-native cricket which has been in my flat since breakfast yesterday (they're sold as live food for exotic pets and someone nearby is a bit careless with them).
Then I put it in a jamjar and took it into work where it will be decluttered by a colleague to feed a pet lizard at home.
Do I get a prize for weirdness? And I'm eating leftovers from Sunday evening - quiche and salad. Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:Lol, do you think I could send you the huge spiders that keep turning up in my flat to feed to the lizard?
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! The very thought of it.
I did have an offer of a tarantula to be let loose in my flat to hunt the cricket (this is about the 8th cricket-intrusion this year) but I pointed out if there was a tarantula in here, I'd be kipping in the underpass............ick.
The same morning the cricket arrived, a huge spider (now MIA) appeared in the bathroom. I was trying to get out the door for work, brushing my teeth and having to try to catch the cricket - just too darned much to catch the spider also.
My life goes from the [STRIKE]sublime[/STRIKE] stupid to the ridiculous at a rate of knots. :rotfl:Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

There are days (frequently) that I miss my cat. She'd have eaten all of the spiders before they even saw her lol!“I want to be a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum'Coz how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?" ~ Dr A.

I recycled (ie put in the right receptacle) someone else's rubbish left by the recycling containers in the village. It drives me insane: plastic and glass bottles left in a bag next to bottle and plastic bank. Why do people do it ? They go to the bother to take it there but run out of the energy to actually put it in the appropriate containers.
What prize do I get?0 -

Thanks from an environmental scientist?

Apparently placing conkers in your house is supposed to deter spiders. My MIL does it. I've tried it this year and it does seem to have reduced the number of spiders I've seen...then again, the conkers are covering up gaps in the corners of the skirting so maybe that's why they've worked
Used up today: roast chicken leftovers in a veggie curry. Hubby wasn't impressed with veggie curry alone.0
