Mothra

Last night Furtle was terrorised by a "giant moth" wearing a "Russian hat". Apparently it waggled its antennae at her. She scuttled from the shower and hid under the duvet to read horror stories. Are tales of giant moths and the reading of such tomes related, I wonder? Either way, I was enjoined to take care when encountering this beat when I went for my shower.

I have to say that she was exaggerating somewhat. I failed to notice the miscreant whilst preparing my ablutions, though there was a shadow on the shower curtain.

It's not there this morning, so it either left through the open bathroom window in search of newer, brighter lights, or it is lurking in readiness to jump out and scare Furtle again tonight.

I have noticed that butterflies don't do this. Moths may lurk and pounce, but butterflies simply preen. They are also sensible and sleep of a night.

Oddly, bats don't scare me at all. Go figure.

As for the peach skins, not sure. I'd imagine it's the texture, but she goes a long way to avoid touching them.

Isn't that generally called marriage?
