- I'm a lover of black humour, chocolate, photography, poetry, quirky things, visual arts, the written word, travel and eating and drinking in the good and bad moments of life. I dislike jellied eels, ham fritters and bullies.

I see a house plunged into darkness as the rats have bitten through the electrical cables.

I struggled to find the comments thingy, it kept disappearing !
I see blackest night but if you look up, you can see a star
God it's black in here can't see the ruddy keyboard, I'm all finger and thumbs !
Oh, my first player.......
Auntiegwen, that's because we have no power m'dear, blinkin' rats! :o
"Twinkle, twinkle little star ...."

'Ere, what's going on, TF? I come along for some words of wisdom and it's pitch black. Have you forgotten to remove the lens cap or have those pesky rats been chewing at the cables again?
Hmmmm, a case of "tunnel vision ?" venture forth m'dear, look about you and you'll SEE the light. For do nit fear the rat has been eaten by the cat ;-) TFX
Well with all the to-do we've had (and are still having) with rodents in this house, that's obviously what I can see too!!
Or is it the dark soul of the rat?
Actually, when I looked at the blackness for a bit I thought I saw one of your lovely photos appear briefly, but maybe I was seeing things??
Black out! Is it the blitz? The credit crunch?
When I double click on the black, I get a little blue box with what looks like a watering can in it. Curiouser and curiouser.
Otherwise I get my reflection staring back at me. And that's scary:-)
Clarkey,
The cat ate the rat.
Rat poison killed the cat.
He was buried in a black hole.
God bless his soul.
Moi, lovely photos! You be seeing things m'dear :)

Lane
Black out!
Draw the curtains over that idea!
Is it the blitz?
Are we at war?
The credit crunch?
What credit crunch?
When I double click on the black, I get a little blue box with what looks like a watering can in it. Curiouser and curiouser.
Lane, that be your imagination m'dear, you use it well :)
Otherwise I get my reflection staring back at me. And that's scary :-)
"Mirror, mirror on the wall....."
Reflective answers ;-)

It's the last Woolworth's after the lights have been switched off.
Of course given that my new WIP has Blackout in the title...that's what I see. But I did a Lane and double clicked on the blackout curtains and then I saw a tiny blue oblong with a white dot in the bottom left-hand corner.
LOL at babooshka's comment. Nice one!
I see that it's dark and therefore must be time I went to bed. Ahh darkness, much needed sleep, and hopefully to dream some brilliant plotline... (wishful thinking me thinks!)
my mood on a Thursday...:(
My blog! ;-)
xx
B, If it wasn't so sad that would be very funny. I hope someone sees the light and buys Woolies for a bargain price of a £1.00. Let's have a whip round :)

Pat, Ahhh, the blue dot it's be a secret message, mark my words ;-)
Debs, from out of the darkness you will see the light remember to follow the star :)
DJ, tomorrow will be another day and bet you bottom dollar "That the Sun will come out tomorrow.."
AB, I fear only you can change that m'dear. Will you be rejoining us? Do not answer as you have every "write" to keep us in the dark ;-)
TFX
Oh! hello Mr Chopper, that's because it's so bloody dark in this black box and I keep clicking on the wrong blinkin' keys. But all is not lost,just bought myself a bargin box of knock down priced candles from Woolworths. Forgot the ruddy matches :O
TFx
An eclipse!
Casdok, I'm liking your thinking here TFx
