Poor Funsize got a bit of a fright the other night - she had decided to sit on the floor to finish her dinner, only for a mid-size spider to sneak along the floor to join her. And at a stroke all my efforts to persuade her that spiders are, by and large, both friendly and harmless were undone.
Anyway, I sprang into action, caught the spider in a glass, and then ejected it from the house. It will bother us no more. As a result of this great deed, I am now claiming the title of Spidersbane... at least for now.
I may lay it down again once the offended spider returns intent on wreaking a terrible vengeance!
