It stared at me, poised. It would be an unequal fight…like David and Goliath. I had no desire to kill…but would it attack?
Which is the greater cowardice … to choose not to act in self defence or to resort to violence. With seeming unconcern, the spider crawled back beneath the keyboard.

Sue Vincent's Daily Echo 
LOL Sue. I was once evicted from my house by one. It was huge and I sat on the doorstep waiting for Hubby to come home as dog of the time just sat there and watched it. Hubby was late and it was a neighbour who became my saviour, but even he had to come out and get a bigger broom and pan!

I have hordes of the things here with the garden doors… it is the smaller ones I no longer welcome after the spider bite episode 😉

I’ve been wary of the little red ones as they bite. I saw one rise on its back legs and nip my parents’ dog on the nose!

The one that got me was yellow and landed me in hospital… not a pleasant experience.

😀 I’ve seen some bad reactions to insect bites. Best to be cautious if you’re sensitive to them.

This one was most unusual… and quite nasty.

Oh, Sue, this is funny. You and my husband – both scared of spiders. I had a pet one called Miranda when I was a girl.
