Oh the ants go marching one by one...

Yesterday morning I got up for Saturday class, and went through the usual routine. Plugged in the kettle to boil water, and made myself a cup of tea. I never bother to turn on the kitchen light, I just go through the motions. Got to class, drank my tea no problem. But I'll bet you can feel the impending doom.

When I got home, I found the new housemate, S., in the kitchen cleaning away. I asked her what she was up to, "Well, I went to boil water, but when I opened the lid I found a huge nest of ants, thousands of them, swarming around with eggs in their mouth and everything." Ummm. Yah, that's gross. Today's to do list includes: "Buy new kettle" and "convince oneself that ingesting ants is harmless."
