clo_againHaving just consulted the back of my hand - my notebook when I'm too lazy to find paper - and found the words 'BIN' and 'POTS' written across it in Biro, I remembered I was meant to put the bin out front for the binmen tomorrow and water the woman's flower pots on the patio. So, thinking I should do it before I forget - and so I didn't end up doing it at two in the morning - I dutifully put the bin by the gates and went out back, turned the hose pipe on and started watering flowers. About three pots in I noticed a bug on the floor by the door - now it is very important to keep in mind that in general here, we just don't get bugs bigger than say a penny, but this bug was a good inch, inch and a half long, lying on its back and kicking its legs. So, with much terrified squeaking - spiders, rats, snakes, I'm fine, anything even remotely cockroach shaped = me a gibbering mess and this thing looked very cockroach-esque - I found a plastic jug to put over it and crouched down for a look, safe in the knowledge it was under the jug and couldn't get to me.
Until something, very big by our standards, buzzed loudly past my ear.
I'm waiting for a call from the neighbours because I literally screamed my head off and ran as fast as I could down the garden. Anyone listening to me would've thought I was being murdered. I hate things buzzing in my ear. The amount of times I fall out of bed in the summer when a wasp gets in my room... anyway, there were at least TWO more of these big buzzy things that I could see, most definitely not safely confined under jugs and that was it. Screw the plants and I'm very glad I did the bin first because there's no way you're getting my outside this house again tonight. I have no idea what they are and I don't care; I'm not going near them. They are fucking *huge* by British standards. Oh fuck, that scared the hell out of me. I'm still twitching every time I see something out the corner of my eye. Oh man.
*deep breath* Okay, I really need to calm down now. Just bugs. Nothing to worry about.
*twitches*

P.S. Fic soon. And I know I've been saying that all weekend but this time I mean it. Just mid-smut and all is almost done.
