  • Yup .... always have done, I find them absolutely fascinating :o

    And their webs ..... have you ever looked at one really close up?

    They're really amazing things:o all that work ..... the patterns in them ..... and if it's been raining / frosty then wow they're amazing (have some fantastic pics somewhere - must try to find them).

    I do think the webs look pretty if they've got dew or frost on, but the way spiders move... _pale_

    And back to work it is!

    Brr, it was cold this morning. A whole 1 degree on my car thermometer driving to work. Haven't even taken my coat off yet :rotfl: as I'm waiting for the building to heat up some more!

    It'll be a NSD in the SF household, as I've brought my lunch with me and don't need petrol. I do need some more water/screen wash in my car, but water will have to do for now :o

    Brr, it is cold this morning. It's definitely winter now!

    Another NSD here - I've brought a ham and cream cheese wrap with me for lunch, along with some cucumber sticks, raspberries, blueberries and green tea, so no need to spend there - so long as I can keep warm :o nice healthy lunch too.

    Tea tonight is shepherds pie but it's leftovers from when DH made it two weeks ago, so no cooking needed :D just a whizz in the microwave and it'll be done, which is just the kind of tea I like :D whenever we finally move, I'm going to look at doing more batch cooking, as it does make it easier during the week.

    Right, best get on!
