Prickly customer.....

.....this is one of the boy-in-the-attics cacti, just back from it's summer hols in the back yard and feisty as ever (2 nasty scratches on my arm before I got it to its winter home on the kitchen windowsill)

Luckily I didn't have to be a Virgin 'prickly customer' this morning though, whatever was blocking the intertubes yesterday seems to have sorted itself without having to get an engineer out......glory hallelujah!!
