Only in our house . . .
We ran out of tea this morning, so I went down to the root cellar to see if we had any boxes stashed away. We didn't. What we did have was the most appalling smell. I looked all over to see what could be causing it, even opening up my recently made Christmas puddings to see if something had gone wrong.
Eventually, I came to the conclusion that perhaps a small rodent had got stuck in the air vent and died. When my DB and I finally spoke (I had left home before he surfaced in order to take T to the orthodontist and school), he said matter of factly, "It's probably the crab."
Crab!? Crab? Apparently it was a mitten crab that he had stored down there over three weeks ago and forgotten!
Needless to say, he was on clean up duty.
