I expect like many of you, I got up this morning and first staggered to the Bathroom, reaching for my glasses on the way. Turning on the light I was confronted with this horror sat on the toilet cistern directly behind where I was about to rest.
Now I was not going to share my morning ablutions with anyone else, so I did the natural thing for us 365'ers and grabbed my camera. By now I was walking rather crossed leg but as I don't believe in killing anything I went to the kitchen for a tumbler and stiff coaster to imprison the creature and dispose of later. What a relief in many ways.
I do have my funny blog on a very similar experience, worth reading to the end just for a laugh.:
Oh, you have me in stitches here.....hahaha!!! Total relief hey?! I also hate spiders but run for my camera too, all hairs on my arms and back of neck standing straight up...we really are strange, us photogs!! Great image!
@carolmw Thank you Carol, but you're so cruel, it didn't have it's water wings. Anyway didn't you know that God has a clipboard for everybody, and when you kill something he ticks it off on your clipboard, "Carol 1 fly, 2 beetles and a spider."
I always enjoy your writings, and I'm thrilled to know you have a blog. Can't wait to check it out. And I'm not as kind as you are...that spider would have gotten a free ride in the giant whirlpool.
@featherstone Thank you Sue, once you've read the blog on the link, click on the heading "The Ramblings of a Mad Pensioner". This will take you to the top of all my blogs. Recommend sliding to the bottom and clicking on older blogs, you should find some of those to your liking.
AS much as I hate Spiders, I also would have captured it( unless too fast) and got it outside where it prob would not last long. Great shot of the Beast!
LOL. As I was reading...heading to the kitchen for a tumbler...I thought you were going to say Scotch. Often I'll pick them up in a Kleenex. Not sure I would have been so magnanimous with a full blatter.
@kathiecb Thanks Kathie, The full bladder went right out of my mind when I spotted the creature, it was a matter of survival and stopping it from watching me in the nude, not a pretty sight and I could have killed it through shock.
LOL - Some creatures (crickets, for example) are allowed to live if they find their way into the house. Spiders, not so much! And I had to read the blog again...so funny, even on the second and third reading!
Ahahaha your photo and this entire page of posts is hilarious. Then I went to your blog and I'm laughing so hard I have to go mop my face. Thanks for the belly laugh. I needed that.
