Life is full of surprises


LIFE is full of surprises, or perhaps I should say the post box is. Hardly a day goes by without some fast-moving reptile or insect shooting out as I put my hand in to pick up the mail. Today, gingerly, I opened the flap and something yellow, black and furry buzzed away. I think it was a bee, but it could have been a wasp. Inside by the lock, the beginnings of a nest. Summing up great courage I destroyed it. Much to my relief nothing else moved. Never in a hundred years did I dream that getting mail was so hazardous. I'll have to start getting the children to pick it up (wicked witch laugh)...
