Got up at 5 am. It was dark, I only had one light on.

Made my usual hot cup of British Breakfast tea like Grandma drank.
As I was drinking my tea, I felt something biting my ankle.
I saw ants crawling every where on my foot.
I was horrified.

Went to the kitchen sink to get a cold paper towel for my ankle.
Flying ants all over kitchen sink. Tiny little ants all over kitchen floor.
I was shocked. I am meticulous and obsessive about having a clean house.
No idea where these critters came from.
I spent an hour battling the creatures. They have gone to their maker.
