    My visiting spider is BACK! Must have something to tell me / show me... Or likes my bathtub in the nice warm bathroom much nicer than the cold garden :beer:
    Or maybe he's looking for a lady spider - maybe this time I'll relocate him to the garage, I'm sure I've seen a big old female wolf spider in there and it wont be so cold :j

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Warning - not for the squeamish!



    Thank you - it's OH who got himself injured - it was 18 yearold DS who drove him to hospital!

    Thumb was broken and dislocated. Blood came from where I expected it to - bone broke the skin.

    He has phoned this morning and confirmed that he THINKS they are going to let him home today... but he has confirmed that there is something he hasn't told me!:wall:_pale_

    I can only wait for his reappearance! Luckily DS is not at work today so he can hang around waiting for the call!

    I shall fill my time by sorting out stuuf - washing up here I come!
