I got chased out of my bed last night....by a feather.

I shit ye not, a big brown feather.

The problem is, when I take my glasses off I literally can't see anthing. I differentiate between colours of fuzzy blobs. A face becomes a pink blob with two black blobs where I presume the eyes should be, that sort of thing.

So, I took my glasses off before getting in to bed, I pulled back the duvet......and there was a brown blob on the teracotta blob which I know to be the bed sheet.

I froze.

'Tis a spider, thought I. And a large one at that. I panicked.

I moved back, the brown blob followed. I screamed and inched further away, the blob remained silent yet encroached on my space.

I smothered it with a pillow before reaching around and fumbling for my glasses. I hastily put them on, peered under the pillow....and was greeted by a squished feather.

It appears that, whenever I moved, I caused a slight draught which made the feather ripple.

So yes, the brown blob was a feather.

I feel silly.
