This morning I got up and pottered around like you do on a Sunday. Of course it was slightly earier than I had hoped to be getting up due to my BIL ringing me to ask why I was still in bed when everyone else was up? Being half asleep, I was a bit confused by this, wondering if I was supposed to be somewhere else. Then it turned out he had pressed the wrong number on speed dial and it wasnt me at all that should be up LOL
So anyway after that, I got to pottering about, playing with the computer, tweaking things etc and drinking decaf. Then out of the blue the power cut out with no warning whatsoever. Now last Saturday it was out for 8 hours but at least they gave me advance warning. Today nothing and I hadnt even had my breakfast. Now I couldn’t boil a kettle, make toast, heat up anything, watch tv, dvd, listen to music, vacuum (and I so wanted to) because the whole stupid house is electric. So after my computer battery died I went for a wander out in the garden as the sun was shining and it wasnt too cold.
I have strawberries in my garden. It’s a hardy plant the strawberry plant, that’s all I can say. I planted them about 3 years ago and they have had no care and attention ever since. They survive through all weather, snow, frost, rain, wind and every year there are more and more of them. Now these strawberries are not those very pretty, large one you see in the supermarket. These strawberries are a bit rough round the edges but OMG they are the sweetest strawberries I have ever tasted!!! So there I was wandering up the path, fighting past the nettles to pick the strawberries, and just eating them straight off the plant. Ah bliss. Well bliss until I pulled the stalk off one of them and was just about to pop it in my mouth, when this little grub/wormy looking thing reared its little black head (where’s the shocked smiley when you need one?) So anyway ‘what did you do?’ you’re asking, well I lifted it out and set it down on a nice flower and I ate the strawberry 
Let’s face it I had probably already eaten a couple of the little creatures already (I hope not since I don’t eat meat but it was accidental).
