spiders!

OMG there are LOADS of spiders around at the moment!

apparently september / october is when they mate; and this year boffins are saying conditions are rad for spiders so we should expect to see record numbers.

owhhhh. i'm seeing one pretty much every day at the moment :( they creep me out a lot. silly, i know but i can't help it. i saw the biggest spider i have EVER seen last week - it was HUGE. my dad had to come and put it outside. yes, i'm 27 and being rescued from spiders by my dad! although it takes me about half an hour i can usually manage to get a glass over it and put it outside (obvs i don't hurt them, that would be mean) but this one was just too big!

oh oh oh and the other day when graham was round one was on my hand so i shook it off and ran down the stairs and then freaked out for a bit.
