Remember a while back I posted about the snake under the chest of drawers? Well it's back - this time about 24" long and in the study/home office where I am trying work.

I nearly trod on it and yelped in surprise, rushed to get the motorbike gauntlets so I could pick it and throw it outside, but the little bugger had slithered off so fast behind a heavy desk there is no way I could reach it in time. It's spooled up in a tiny crevice poking out it's tongue at me.

I'm now wearing my heavy duty garden boots inside the house. WTF??

Just want to say WTF? I bent down between the old chair and the mahogany chest of drawers in the dining room to move the cable I spied on the carpet ( we've misplaced the camcorder lead and have been looking everywhere). As my fingers touched it the cable moved swiftly underneath the chest.

WTF! Enter hubs with torch to check it out. Yep it's a snake - exit stage left to do the quickest googling of our life to check the markings. There is only one poisonous snake left in the UK which is not found in the area but who knows what came in with the last bunch of bananas from Tescos. We ID the grass snake and hubs dons the gauntlets.

( Snakes on the brain.... seeing is believing ) These are a bit blurred but you'll understand the camera shake.

My daughter's reaction when we call her to come and see "Can I hold it?" hehe, that's my girl. Snake liberated to the graveyard opposite the house.
