Actually it started out early, with the person above me resetting his vibrating phone alarm over and over. It was chilly so just stayed under the covers for a bit.
Showered, and ready to take the trash, mail a few thank you notes for my birthday gifts and do laundry. Exciting, eh?
I have an inordinate fear of spiders. I don’t even like seeing pics of them. I have a spider stain on my bedroom wall left there as a warning to any creatures of their fate if they invade my territory.
I must have picked up a huge one on my outdoor run for when I was folding my towels, saw a big brown one. And I’m talking big! My dilemma- should I shake him off to brown carpet where I’ll lose him? Yikes!
Panic set in and I shook him off the towel to keep him off my bed. If I had lost him on my bed I’d never get on it again–FEAR!
I scooted out to the kitchen to get my hand held vacuum and luckily he was still moving on the carpet so I sucked him up.
I also have a fear of things crawling back out of the vacuum so I went outside and dumped him on the gravel. I still get shivers picturing him. I know it’s ridiculous but it is a never gone childhood fear.
(Shiver)
So how was your day?🤠

I love spiders – BUT – at times they can still freak me out especially when you are not expecting them to pay you a visit.
Many years ago l was cleaning out a stables in Lincolnshire and a huge Harvester spider also known as Caves dropped from the stable roof and fell on my shoulder. My then wife said ‘Rory a spider is on your shoulder!! It’s effing massive!!!” Well she was known for pranks and so l ignored her until l felt something on my neck which l mistook for a piece of straw until when l brushed it aside the thing ran across my face ………………………… well, as said l love spiders but even l have my limits!
The fastest time for the mile is supposedly just under four minutes … l have a difference of opinion actually!! Onlookers and observers thought l broke the speed barrier when l ran shrieking from that stable!!

Fortunate;y they never bothered us, but we once had a guest refuse to sleep in the spare room because of a spider on the wall.
