    I once removed a 7 legged spider from a holiday rental in France. The thing was so vast it had to fold its knees up to fit inside a pint glass. My manly other half sat hugging himself and squeaking.

    I wonder how the thing lost a leg...?

      Phew.

        I'm not a big fan of your average house spider, though not afraid of them. But the little jumping spiders are quite cute. I like the way they turn to look at you.

              Good lass.
              Have got a modest sized Boris in my bathroom. She seems to like the bit between an old gas tap and the shower rail. Keep trying not to splash her when I'm in there.

              There are loads of webs in the garden.
