I know that normally I bemoan the fact that everyone seems to have decided that summer is over. However this morning when I came downstairs to a cool and misty morn I wasn't glum as I looked out my window at my little tree out back and there was a lovely display of spiders' webs, the type which normally you only see on a cold and frosty morn.
Now I know a lot of people dislike/fear spiders but I think they are great creatures and boy can they move fast! Why so many of them choose to live in the bath I find curious (yeah, yeah, I know come up the plughole) but I like to just remove them carefully as I really don't like to shower with them although I have been known to dry myself with one or two (the joy of being short sighted!).
My other half has a tendancy to remove them to the outdoors which to me is just plain stupid as obviously they are indoor spiders and how would he like it if he was just going about his daily business and some big blighter came and removed him to some far off cold/hot land when he was on his way back to his family/meal.
Anyway as long as they keep the flies out of my home they are welcome to stay with me as long as they like!
