What Stopped You In Your Tracks Today?

Spiders. Went to get the post, opened the vestibule door and Oh My God, a spider has spun a web right across the vestibule. Can't see the spider to suck it up the hoover so can't get out the front way now, even if the house was on fire. Yes I know they can't hurt physically, but there is no way I am going anywhere near in case it drops on me.

Get a feather duster out and bash its brains in.

Didn't stop me in my tracks exactly, more like in the middle of me breast stroke, when the hunky lifeguard at the gym stripped his top off to do a bit of cleaning in the jacuzzi. Cor ... had a tattoo down the top part of his spine that all most looked like a gold mark ... unfortunately, didn't get near enough to read it ... LOL Not that I stared or anything ...

Talking of spiders Mothernature, took this off my daughter's blog :-

Spiders

We seem to have a settlement in my home just at the moment. Every room I go into I see a huge spider. They aren’t the cutesy ones that run across your palm. These are the full-size black or brown ones with bulky bodies and extensive, chunky legs. They make scratchy sounds as they scurry across the carpet, walls, wood floors and even up the walls.
I don’t execute them or even evict them. I just neatly circumvent them as my face creases into a dismayed expression like an old crumpled newspaper as I say something useful like, ‘Ewww! A spider’
They don’t essentially bother us; they just softly graze their way around my environment sharing the dust and warmth, they loiter in shadowy corners and get along with the business of existence hopefully just feasting on any flies that get in.
I just wish they were prettier…

Theres a spider spun a web in my kitchen window, outside that is, just facinating to watch it go about its business dragging flys into its den

Cutesy spiders!!!!!! Never, no such thing. Burn them all at the stake, zap 'em into space. Disgusting critters. I'd rather be invaded with cockroaches. Now they are cute
