Hmmm...they can go play outside from now on!

I thought they were quite sweet - well they are compared to the HUGE European house spiders which gallop across the bedroom ceiling and drop down if disturbed!!!

Enough already, my children are calling me a home breaker because I've been seeking out and dusting away all the webs I can find.

I have an ex wife and ex stepdaughters. Ex wife liked spiders, ex middle step daughter hated then. Watching telly one night all we could hear was this "TAP...TAP....taptaptapping sound. Went into her bedroom and here she is on her bed, the duvet on the floor with a 4 inch high heel in her hand trying to kill a spider under the duvet. I lifts the duvet and this minuscule wee teeny spider looked at me, said "Thanks mate" and ran like hell for the door.

I've been watching 'my' two spiders who live above the window- next to my computer- having a face-off. They were 2" apart- facing each other stroking the ceiling first with one front leg, and then with the other. First one spider then the other. The larger ( ?female) spider went over to the other so I wondered if it was baby making time- or the bigger one was just plain hungry.
Well- I nipped out to get some beetroot and now I'm back- I've missed all the action!!! Smaller spider is still there- and no sight of the other one!( not even wrapped in a web ready for supper!!) D'Oh

ps- yup I'm still avoiding the ironing!
