My dad used to tell me that I shouldn't eat an apple with one hole in it as there may be a worm inside. I could eat an apple with two holes though as the worm had come back out  ;D

Never knew if he was kidding or not.....I just don't eat apples with any holes in at all  ::)

This isn't about spiders, but cockroaches - I once heard of a cellist who was taking part in a concert with her string quartet.   They were up on stage, playing away, when the cellist spotted a cockroach on the stage floor and it was coming towards her.  She couldn't do anything about it and she just had to keep on playing.   Unfortunately, it wasn't put off by her long skirt and just crawled underneath the hem and up her leg!!!!   And as the show had to go on, she still just had to keep on playing!!  (This was told me by someone who knew her.)

Bit of a side step here.
In the early days of our relationship OH was driving me to play in a concert.
I was wearing a long black skirt (long skirt link - phew - I knew there was a link there somewhere)
Apparently there was a mouse running around in the foot well alongside my feet and said skirt.

He didn't tell me, good thing probably.

Obviously a cultured mouse, Limpy!   Can you remember what you were playing?

Don't know what the mouse was playing ......

Maybe Strauss's Die Fledermaus?

CLKD - yes, I know "Fledermaus" means "bat" - it's more Jerry's conducting skills I was talking about!
Did the cellist put her foot on the cockroach?  I don't know!  There'd have been a bit of a scrunch if she did!

Limpy - absolutely!   And even less point watching two!   The late Sir Adrian Boult used hardly any movement of his hand to conduct.  Wonder how anybody could have seen his beat......!

Stop panicking about the supposedly larger than Life spiders that are about to land on our shores - it ain't going to happen, according to people who handle wild spiders daily as part of their job!  It's scaremongering. Apparently the Press have been telling the public about the large spider and giving it a Latin name: but that particular spider is one of our smallest and lives quietly out of the way  ;D

So put those Hoovery-thingies away  ;)

Got my first daddy long legs in the house today. They are a bit late this year. It's all those legs and wings, they make me shudder.
