Seriously, 2020?

For the second time this year I have had a largish spider on my face. Possibly the same spider.

I'd just abandoned my not-so-daily waddle half done as the rain was getting heavier by the minute, got back into the house and flumped down at the computer desk.

WTF, did I just see something run across my chest and shoulder?

Can't have, it must have been seeing the youtube vid restarting out of the corner of my eye as I sat down.

Aarrrgh, it's in my ear, getitoff, getitoff!!!

I think it must have been nesting on the inside of my coat when I put it on, transferred to my jumper, and then tried to find shelter when it found itself unexpectedly exposed. At no point did I get a clear view of it, but I'm fairly certain what it was, and that it's still somewhere in the room. At least it's not in the bedroom I sleep in.

Does Britain have any dangerously venomous spiders?

[davidgillon]

No, we're safe in that regard. The worst they'll do is deliver a bite, and that's rare.

Oh, good!

As an Australian, my default is "some Australian spiders can land you in hospital and [rarely] kill you"

No part of this statement is reasonable.

*hugs*

[davidgillon]

Kind of feel like I need a hug*! So even virtual ones gratefully accepted.

*Also a stiff drink.

[sovay]

Also a stiff drink.

Warranted by the circumstances, if you ask me!

*more hugs*

I just have to say: Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

Sympathy from the arachnophobia mines.

[davidgillon]

While not a spider fan, I wouldn't have said I have arachnophobia.

Then 2020.
