freckles_and_doubthe's back! my giant spider made a spirited attempt to recolonise my bedroom this morning, ambling in through the window with considerable nochalance while I was lying in bed drinking tea. To which I said "hell no!" and did the Cup Trick again (with considerable more ease given it was daylight and I intelligently opened the back door first), and tossed him successfully and with elegant dispatch into the far corner of the garden. If he tries again I shall take him out the front of the house and dump him in the hedge across the road, this is ridiculous.
I think he must be a rain spider, apparently they come into the house when it's about to rain, which it is, because they don't like getting wet. Sensible, really, if a bit inexplicable in purely evolutionary terms, what did they do before houses? but I am not down for a spider tenant. Also, this is, according to Teh Internets, the season when the males wander around searching for a lady love. While both Pandora and I are definitely ladies, neither of us is spider-sexual, so I'm afraid he's a bit doomed.
My skin is crawling again. Bleah.
