I was going to make a blog post yesterday about my trip to kent and our escape from the rain, but got a bit distracted having to defend my room against this beast...
arrghhhhhhhhhhhh!I think I handled it pretty well, using the tried and tested Nearest Pot-like Object and Paper technique. Other than the part where it tried to attack me as I put it outside the front door. At least I hope it went out from the front door- spiders can be very sneaky. By the way, this photo may be deceiving, because the spider was about as big as my hand (at LEAST).
Anyway, Kent was very nice, very very pretty with some awesome coppiced forests and suchlike. Always nice to get a bird that the boy misses too :P And for the record it was more like "bboooooooom" "did you hear that?" "boooomm" "there?" "hmmm". Maybe I'm just better at bitterns or something.
Must go, need to sort out my mountain of clothes into some semblance of order so that I can pack for my holiday :)
I will leave you with a little pearl of wisdom from my nan, who called me especially to tell me she heard the first cuckoo of the year from her garden yesterday.
"April they arrive, and sing all through May. Middle of June they change their tune, and then they fly away".
