Blog entries I haven't found the chance to write
* Completing every Danish lesson on Duolingo, not wishing to remain permanently in revision mode and having to decide where to take my learning next.
* Returning from a trip to the loo in the wee hours <chortle> to spy a spider on my pillow. Realising it's time for a fumigation. Just for funsies, listing the many types of arachnid encountered regularly around our house and yard.
* Following the formula of the "Scarred For Life" podcast by revealing my Top 3 childhood scares. Or did I do this already? In short: kid-at-window scene from 1979 "Salem's Lot" miniseries, framed print of abstract face by Picasso that I thought looked terrifying in low light, recurring nightmare about being engulfed by the leech-filled pond up the road (which turned out to be one colossal leech).
Given that we have visitors arriving any minute who'll be staying with us for a few days, I doubt I'll be blogging in detail about anything else soon, either.
Reco: British uni-student comedy-drama "Fresh Meat". Am up to Season 3.

Mum had a big poster of The Cure in the hallway between my bedroom and the bathroom, directly opposite a window that let in the moonlight through the branches of a dead tree. They were all looking at the camera with stern faces, so the eyes followed you.
Which meant when I needed a wee at night, I'd have to psyche myself up on the threshold of my bedroom doorway, then sprint up the hall so Robert Smith wouldn't get me.
That's tops. Who knew Smithy could be so scary?!
