Lovely Lady Legs

I was about to tell you how excited I was about this carrot. And I still am, it's my first proper carrot ever, it grew like a carrot, tasted like a carrot and was all round quite fabulous, but I just almost swallowed a fly.

I was sitting here peacefully drinking a lovely cold beer, when I took the last swig of the bottle. I'm so lucky that when I felt something strange in my mouth my first thought was fly, because to the great entertainment of all watching, I immediately spat the entire mouthful out onto the coffee table.

Yep, fly.

It was close people, very close.

And enough to put me off pretty much everything tonight, including my excitement over this carrot.

ps I was also going to blather on about how I think carrots look like ladies legs, but the fly incident has put a stop to that too.

Carrots may look like your legs, Ali. But my legs aren't all bobbly up the top like that! Lucky escape for the fly, I reckon.

Your extremely entertaining post has made me feel so much less sympathetic about your fly incident. If it hadn't happened I wouldn't have laughed so hard! Congratulations on your carrot, anyway. I remember the first time I succeeded with them felt very similar (minus the fly swallowing).

That's a very bad day for the fly LOL

The carrot is good news but the fly in the coffee is yucks! What a narrow escape.

Eliza the fly incident was entertaining, it was amazing how quickly one gross little fly can turn your stomach!

Nickie the fly drowned in the beer before I spat him out, I'm not sure if that's a good way to go or not... and Autumn Belle, if I had swallowed that thing I'd probably still be out of commission right now!

Hello there, I'm Kyna :)

Found you on Blotanical. I wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your blog, the fly in the beer was the kicker for making me say hello lol. You seem like you have a good sense of humour which is what I most enjoy in a blog. Consider yourself 'followed' :)
