Attack of the Killer Cockroach!

After joking last night about cockroaches taking your arm off, I awoke in the night with a massive one sitting on my leg! As quick as I could, I gave the bloody thing a wack and then being the brave man that I am, ran into the next bedroom and cuddled up to Adrienne and Jarvis. Once safely in bed with my family, I fell back to sleep, awaking later, to find that they'd had to move back to the other room due to my snoring.

I know that they are pretty harmless, but today I was on a mission to clean and debug the whole house. I started at about 9am and worked through until 7pm. In that time I washed every floor, vacuumed the whole house and moved every piece of furniture and sprayed with cockroach killer. I've sprayed around all the windows, skirting boards, under cupboards, the fridge and dishwasher. I'm pretty certain that I've cleaned and debugged the entire house. But to be sure, tomorrow, I'm going to bug-bomb the place too.

So as a result, I've not taken any pictures today, so as I sit here and type, I'm thinking, OK, I can post the picture that Adrienne's sister sent today of their grandparents, Jack and Daphne..'Hi Guy's, see you when it gets cooler in Sydney' Then I thought, 'I know, I'll go and take a picture of the cockroach that was on my leg last night. Now it's been dead for about 18-hours, but it still scares the life out of me, and to take this picture, I had to use a VERY long set of tongs to get it out of the rubbish bin. On the way I dropped it and ran like the wind screaming, because I'm such a poof. Ok, so have a look at the beast, which is of average size and tell me that it wouldn't scare you if you found it sitting on you at 2am in the morning.
