Foliage and bugs

This is my mom's "garden". She loves the plants, but unfortunately is not very green-fingered. But that's another story.

I'd stepped outside to have a smoke whilst waiting for The Sister. It's the usual SOP.



But when I went back in, I find my Dad trying to get rid of this:



Holy crap, hotstep time. I went jiggling my way across the room with cries of "Ack!", "Argh!", "EEeee!" and other choice phrases.

Outside, it's a veritable garden hedge and no bugs. None whatsoever. I have never been molested by any sort of caterpillar from my Mom's plants. And inside the flat, we catch one trying to make his way across our 6 X 9 foot carpet. In the living room.


My ass shall be planted most carefully in the coming days.
