Monday started with death

The suspected charred remains of an unidentifiable insect were found today after gloom descended in a spiteful fizz of failing circuitry. It had apparently kamikazed in the bowl-shaped section of an Argos "Burnished Bronze" floor lamp, taking the light out in the process. All that remains of the toasted invertebrate is a lingering odour not unlike that of a Chinese medicinal herb shop.

Five ants lured by the honey glazing on my rice puff cereal also died violently in the bottom corner of the bag of cereal today when the walls of their polythene tomb closed in on their unsuspecting heads. One panicked and tried to escape, but failed horribly in the attempt, expiring (also violently) one centimeter away from its friends and approximately 748 rice puffs from freedom.
