Decided to have a shower after wrting the last bit, not a cleansing shower, just I smelt real bad after the gym this moring and I hadnt done anything about it. Was sitting there on the sofa, feeling a bit sorry for myself having dragged up all sorts of feeling from the past, when............from the darkest corner of the room appeared the worlds biggest spider....now I have faced lots in my life but spiders  make me scream. I jumped onto the sofa spilling my warm coffee down my leg, went to wipe it off while keeping spider in sight so I knew where not to go in the room, twisted my ankle , fell over the arm of the sofa and landed on the floor in a wet coffee heap only to open my eyes to be faced by......... the spider! OH SHIT.

levitation is a wonderful thing....I think thats what got me back on the sofa, have just stopped shaking.  And I am about to go and have another shower to get the coffee out of my hair before I go to work.

A good lesson in not to take myself so seriously, although there is still one big concern....where did the spider go after being faced by falling woman?Coming eyeball to eyeball with me, he shot off somewhere......and im too scared to look! But thats what I a have a mad dog for, you've heard of sheep dogs, mountain rescue dogs(when did a mountain ever need rescusing?), dogs for the blind.... I have a mad spider dog......years of intensive training....mainly consisting of shouting..."quick quick get the spider, good dog" have resulted in him being able to sense a spider at 50 yards. then if he can be bothered to get off his fat bum and saunter over there he will rescue me, but then again he might have something else on his mind, pondering his fleas, watching tv (he loves the swimming) or planning how big a hole to dig... I think Ill just have the shower, go to work and face the spider with the dog tonight,
