Spiders Love/Hate relationship

Good job I don’t suffer from Arachnophobia – a terrible fear of spiders
‘Cose I was merrily pottering around the bedroom a few weeks ago
 and this is what I saw
up above on the frilly cutain valance
Can’t see the first photo
Look at this one
Still not visible
Ttry this one
I’d put your glasses on if I was you

OK here goes
Last chance
‘Cose it went out the door very soon after this

Big hairy monster that it was – it never made a murmur
when I ( oh well, when Dh) held the piece of newspaper underneath its legs
I did move out of his way so as he wouldn’t drop the paper
“cose goodness knows where it would have gone them lol
I may not have the fear of spiders
that Little Miss Muffet had
 but
I know I wouldn’t have been sleeping in that room
till it was found, thats for sure!!
Shhhh – don’t tell one of my girls that
as she still relates the tale of her dad telling her
to ignore the one on her bedroom ceiling
as she was much bigger than it
and it would be scared of her
and not the other way round!!
or as one of my friends used to say
B.B.Bs
(Bloody Big Buggers)
ps.  If you want to see a really big spider go over to this blog
Its a big one !!

Fresh air and no sunshine

This is what I saw looking off the back deck late yesterday afternoon
Looks delightful doesn’t it
 poured again for most of the night
but had sort of cleared up by this morning
Having had enough of being cooped up inside
(‘Cose thats where I’ve been most of the week)
I decided to take my chances and go for a walk
These two weren’t going anywhere so I was on my own lol
I headed for a local park –
the one I told you about when we did the
Brolly and camera in hand I strode off
Not a soul in sight
 – it was only drizzling and not too cold –
and I was enjoying the fresh air.
Grey skies as I walked around
– you should be able to see the outline of the Dandenongs
through those trees –
Should was the word lol
Found one of the ponds and some ducks quite pleased
that what the shire is advertising as Wetlands
are actually wet now
and they have somewhere to swim
Heard frogs as well which was quite nice
Didn’t see any tho’
Further round I had another glance up the hills
Still heavy low cloud covering all the range
Another part of the pond looked nice and calm
Came to the little bridge
Still very wet and slippery from last nights downpour
But I strode on
That sounds good doesn’t it lol
I actaully ambled over it and met up with a friend coming the other way
Fed up with being indoors she was out ‘taking the air’ as well
Thought we’d have a sit down and chat
But changed our mind when we saw this bench
Very wet
Seems to have deteriorated a bit over the hot dry summer
It had a lovely overgrown appearance
Surrounded by loads of spring grass
courtesy of all the welcome winter rain
Will have to get the council out with their mower
As that could attract snakes
and other things

Looked at the water again and both of us decided to make our way home
It was coming down by the bucket load
