Spider Nightmares!
Today I rushed out of my flat at brakeneck speed, late for a doctor’s appointment. I noticed something brown by the door but didn’t have time to do anything about it.
After the appointment (with a nice doctor this time you’ll be pleased to know!) I got back home and picked up my insurance papers so I could go to the chemists. (I have sore knees from running and he perscribed me an elastic thing which is remboursed by the social security!) As I was half way out the door I noticed the brown thing again and then all of a sudden long legs spurted out. (I’m feeling sick even writing this….) I ran down the couple of steps to the main door and screamed, whimpered, swore and hoped one of my neighbours would hear and come to my rescue. They didn’t.
By this time he was getting bigger and I was hysterical. Losing all sense of shame I opened the front door and shouted / screamed to a couple of men who were passing if they were scared of spiders!!! My men in shining armour - one of whom, incidently, was very cute - came over looking quite bemused, went into the house and got rid of the monster while I jumped up and down and jibbered incomprehensible phrases from outside. Phew!
After getting back from the chemist I spayed spider repellant EVERYWHERE and I’m feeling quite repelled and sick myself. I have wooden floorboards and every knot is a HUGE cause for concern. The phone rang and I screamed. Today is not a good day!
