cockroach(es) and possum(s)

after the complaints over yesterdays activities we decided to be good neighbours and quietly watch a movie. Our beds came yesterday along with our diningtable so we don't have to sleep on the floor anymore - although, five people in two 92 cm beds could be compared, comfortable-vise, to sleeping on the floor. Anyhow, we saw Im not there, the Bob Dylan movie. as we were lying there half watching/half sleeping, nicole and antonio went into the kitchen to get some film-watching-essentials (water) and from out of nowhere a HUGE cockroach came crawling (READ: SPEEDING) across the kitchen floor - nicole had to be carried out of there due to trauma. Antonio aka MANtonio was the perfect hero when he rescued us from this monster by catching it under a glass.

we thought we were safe after that incidient....but oh how wrong we were! another cockroach made its way through our livingroom (probably it was the first cockroach's dad since it was even BIGGER than the first one) only five minutes later. this time Robin stepped in wearing his superhero cape.

SO, today Louise and Nicole went straight to the store and bought cockroach spray, although they kind of took the wrong one they realized as they were spraying the kitchen and read the label (for the first time, not only looking at the picture) which said "Lures n' Kill" - now while sitting at Maisys we dont really know what to expect on returning home - will there be a cockroach collony or will it be cleared? Since the swaussies are followed by dead animals this day we put our money on the first option. You see, when walking home from the bus, Louise, Nicole and Antonio happily skipped down young st when Louise all of a sudden starts shrieking! there's a dead possum on the side of the road. it looked as though it had just fallen down dead on the ground (this Louise aka CSI Agent Odelberg soon realized was actually true since the possums mouth was wide open and there was a electric wire over him). After another animal related trauma the three went on, only to find another victim withing 5 metres. another possum. dead. this time hanging over a branch in a tree. mouth open. CSI Agent Odelberg drew the conclusion that COD (Cause Of Death) was electrical shock (since the same electrical wire went through that tree as well)

these happenings has got us to wonder, what street are we living on? is it safe for us? Louise plans on a goldfish named Inga is quickly beginning to disappear...
