A wee bit ewwww

This little monster's lurking up up high and out of reach in our kitchen. Ugh. Dad tried to vacuum it up, but it scuttled to teasing distance. We got the step ladder. It scuttled a little further. And now it's up in the very very high corner of the ceiling, beyond the reach even of Dad's special spider donger (a long length of electrical tubing. When ceilings are this high, compassion is not an option.) Mum hates them and up with them she will not put, but it's Dad's 'fault' our ceilings are so high, and so it's his responsibility to get rid of unwelcome visitors. And this one is especially enormous - when I say the body is longer than the diameter of the vacuum pipe, I'm neither joking nor exaggerating.

Now we're playing a waiting game. It has to come down sometime. Doesn't it?



It's the weekend now. Wahoo! Yeehaa! Assignment due on Monday, but I'm only 300 words off, so hopefully a morning in the library tomorrow will sort that out. Then I can get onto graduate program applications. Selection criteria, ooooaaa. Next Doctor Who happens tomorrow night, that's exciting, hopefully we'll find out more about the rubbery aliens with the freaky memory powers and electrical circuit problems. Don't tell me if you've already seen it. I've been very good and not watched it online. A week isn't really that much to have to wait.

Loaf of banana bread's baking in the oven. Cyclone Yasi destroyed most banana crops, but they're starting to slowly come down in prices again - a month ago I saw them for $15/kg, now they're at about the $5-6 mark. But no matter the cost, if you don't eat them, they still go brown and perfect for baking. :D The social recluse in me can sense an evening of banana bread with hot milk and honey, with the tv and fire. And the social recluse is going to win tonight.
