Arachnid Surprise (Phil tells me I have put subjects to all my posts)
Parts of my life are just needlessly silly, here's one. OK, maybe I obsess over recycling.I take the garbage up to dump it but being a conscientious citizen (wet liberal, pick your designation) I first extract the plastic and the bottles and put them in the recycling bins. Then I dump the bag with the rest into the big skip. Now the fact that the skip was green, had the traditional recycle symbol and had a strange long thin slot should have made me think, and it did. The only problem was that the thought occurs about a split second after I'd released the bag into the skip. This is not uncommon with me and I presume that it happens to everyone but I could be wrong. Anyway, I feel guilty and decide to open the side panel to see I can retrieve the bag. It doesn't budge. At this point I could have given up with a reasonably clear conscience, but I don't. I move to the rear to try to shift that. There's a spider's web covering it, and I think "sorry little spider but I have to open this". It also doesn't budge. I give the first panel one more try and then see the "little spider". OMG. So I went back to the boat and got a tape measure because frankly you're not going to believe me are you? I put the measure carefully up against the web. It turns out I don't have to be careful,as big ass spiders like this stand there ground, presumably saying things like "You wanna piece of me? Bring it on". OK, I tried, guilt expunged, garbage goes to the cardboard recycling.
Spider below and remember the tape is in front. It's actually bigger than the tape measure says.
This ain't Itsy Bitsy.
I'm giggling, love that you went and got your tape measure :) Xxxx
