Summer is the time for spiders & snakes in Australia, so I've been told. Well, I don't hope to see snakes but I've seen enough spiders to last me a lifetime!
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, Farm Stud's mother, let's call her Horse Rider, came a calling. She needed to go to the loo and I was in the kitchen waiting for the water to boil to make us a pot of tea.
I spilled something on the floor & reached out to tear a segment off the roll of kitchen towel sitting on the microwave oven. After I tore the piece off, there sitting on the vertical side of the roll was this wolf spider, big, brown & menacing-looking. Of course, you can guess what happened next! I screamed!
Horse Rider (from the loo): What? What? What happened?
Tractor Chick: (screaming again) Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh!
Horse Rider: (coming round the corner): What is it?
Tractor Chick: There's a huge spider on the kitchen towel.
I turned around to look at Horse Rider & there she was standing with the front part of her knickers up while the back part was down! I couldn't stop laughing.
Tractor Chick (still laughing): It's ok, I think you have time to finish what you were doing. The spider doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
The Horse Rider finally came out of the loo all tidied up and she saved me from the spider.
WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA!
