Last night I awoke from my sleep in the spare room at S&F's house to see the upstairs light on and the doorway being all illuminated an glowy.
This, said my foggy brain, means that those hard working folks Mrs F and Shipscook are back from their jobs that end an hour after mine and take longer to commute home from due to traffic.
I could hear Mr S hacking away at some veg in the kitchen and Mrs F sploshing around in the bath.
So time to get up then.
As I sat up, something lowered itself down in front of my face and was silhouetted against the bright rectangle of the doorway. A black shape that struck fear and instant panic into my heart. A shape that looked exactly like a childs drawing of a spider, all very long legs and ickle body. Because thats how Harvestman spiders look - like they were drawn by a child.
Yes I did exclaim "Oh FUCK!" loud enough for them both to hear.
Yes I did leave the bed, stark bollock naked, at a rate of knots that would have put a Jaguar to shame
And yes I did spend five minutes with the light on scanning the bed trying to see where the fucker had gone.
I am a big girl I know.
And then ANOTHER ONE did exactly the same thing!
Christ if I had been wearing pants I would have soiled them.
Arachnophobia is just SO MUCH FUN!
But you have to admit, it was very helloween.
