Okay. Between jury duty (for a rather intense trial) and extra hours of work to make sure our website doesn’t explode this month, I’m finding I just don’t have time to write this month. So my Story of the Month project will resume in February instead of this month.
Remember this scene from our kitchen from last night?
A Dalek in the kitchen!
Well, we thought that a single Dalek in the kitchen, easily dispatched by my sonic screwdriver, would be the end of it.
We were wrong.
When we woke up this morning, we heard a familiar sound from the kitchen: a soft, almost plaintive “Exterminate!” We came into the kitchen, bleary-eyed and barely awake, and saw this:
Dalek hanging from dishtowel
It was cute, in a sort of ready-to-destroy-the-universe way, and it was easy to take care of. We simply grabbed it, and smashed it to smithereens on the floor and gave the pieces to Sherman to play with.
But then we went to make coffee:
CAFFEINATE! CAFFEINATE!
And then we realized the entire kitchen had been taken over! The Dalek from the night before had merely been a scout or it had left spores or something behind! The Daleks were everywhere! Daleks in the silverware drawer:
Silverware
Daleks in the microwave oven!
Microwave!
Daleks among the potatoes! (Warning: DO NOT LET YOUR POTATOES GROW EYESTALKS!)
