Like. Love. Trust.

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.”

Does anyone know a way to say ‘nest of vipers’ without saying ‘nest of vipers’?

I was lying in bed this morning, around half six, listening to the dog snore and contemplating getting up early. In the end I decided to stay in bed.
