Flippin' Cricket!

The Last Of the Plague is hanging around my office, creaking quietly now and then, chewing paper - and jumping out unexpectedly at me!

He's just tried to crawl in between my toes into my shoes. Darned beast! That kind of action calls for a can of insect spray to be directed his way. Munching and chirping I can take - making footwear a home while the foot's still in it, I can't. There's nothing worse than investigating antennae and a cricket mouth probing the toes. Yuk, yuk, yuk.

So cricket - if you have been reading this blog on the sly, know that your hours are numbered. It's not even days anymore, but HOURS. Enjoy your last few.

::update::
He has passed on to cricket heaven (with help), along with 2 of his friends who were hiding out behind something or other. Rest in peace while we finally enjoy ours!
