Mank, Mank and More Mank (by sarah)

Well I've been doing the Spring cleaning and was horrified when I decided to clean down the shelves in the larder cupboard. I went to lift the little stacking can shelves unit only to discover that it was horbouring somehting so foul and disgusting that I gagged.

The unit appeared to be glued to the shelf, I prized it off with a disturbing sucking noise. A foul stench assulted my nose and brown gloop went glop!

Some how, dont ask me how! Insects of verious types seemed to have drown in condesation in the cavity space underneith the unit. How they got in there I do not know as there didnt seem to be any residences in there whilst I was cleaning (as in live ones). It wasnt just one type of insect either (ok look I'm a scientist I looked and prodded ok) - how they got under there I do not know.

They had superated and fermented and turned - well ickky!

It was disturbing and resulted in me going for a bit of over kill in cleaning the cupboard including throwing away open packets of things - this was a bit silly as there hadnt been a smell or anything until I broke the surface tension that had sealed the unit onto the shelf. I then washed the entire cupboard and disinfected it etc...

It was Mank of the highest kind.

Departing Beavers (by sarah)

Wednesday I felt very sad - the gradule take over of the Beaver Colony by One of the perants happened very rapidly. Less than two weeks and I stupidlt felt sad and a bit rentful instead of relieved as I should have.

I think I had become too attatched to the kids, what made me the most upset was the thought that I wouldn't get to see them until they are Scouts which of course is stupid as a)I'm still supposed to hoover around Beavers for now and b) Al runs Cubs so I'm going to see them as Cubs and the fist ones go up to Cubs in April.

It was a strange emotional reaction I completely wasn't prepeared for!

Still this will reduce the amount of time Scouting is currently taking up which is to be frank too much but then we were running 3 sections between the two of us and that really is not sustainable for any length of time!

No one will call me Otter now though :'(

Satanic Teddybear (by sarah)

It keeps looking at me - honest!!!

I came into the lounge area to find it sitting there watching my every movement - unfortunatly it is Jeans favourite teddy but then she liked Demonic rabbit and the Exocist doll. Ok so I have issues with certain toys ok - at least no clowns have appeared yet!

But I mean look at it! Doesnt it just say - I'm going to flay your flesh as soon as the lights go out and my eyes will glowred as I slowely approach you. shudders
