A heart-racing true story, that just happened in my house: “I think there’s a big-ass spider on the loose,” said the Snook. Me: “How do you know?” “Because he’s molted and his old shell’s hanging above the medicine cabinet.” Me: “Oh neat! Go get a box and I’ll climb up on the toilet to take a closer look....” “Uhhhhh... there’s too many legs. And... it’s still moving.” We caught him mid-molt, it seems. The Snook returned with a bucket, and I carefully trapped him in it against the ceiling. The shock seemed to have shaken him loose from his old shell. He wasn’t happy. Neither was the Snook. We used a bit of plastic to cover the bucket, carried him to the door, and flung him (and his old shell) out into the garden. Thanks for the adrenaline, Mr. Spider! 👋🕷 THE END

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
