It's the right time of year to gather a few and decorate your studio with them - ie plonk them around - I'm about to do the same. This isn't a wind up!

My friend has just moved back from Equatorial Guinea and she HATED the lizards and geckos that lived with them.<BR/><BR/>Hey Shari! Conkers! Yes!! I shall go and gather some from the tree over the road. Dang good thinking. And what is a spider sensor? Do tell.<BR/><BR/>Agh - your stories have made me go all funny, Shari. The reason I have a thing about spiders is due to an incident I had a few years back which involved a huge spider, a dressing gown and a naked me. God, it makes me shudder thinking about it.Laura Sparlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291538001842729975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490460042834444771.post-84852053266669579892007-10-16T14:53:00.000+01:002007-10-16T14:53:00.000+01:00Laura, I share your pain.

I was putting my make up on the other day when I looked in the mirror and a huge f-off one was crawling up my leg...and my sister had a ma-husive one crawling on her shoulder at 1am the other week too. She has those spider sensor things that click and conkers too...you must have conkers! xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490460042834444771.post-45478757036512928682007-10-16T14:06:00.000+01:002007-10-16T14:06:00.000+01:00I understand - it's not spiders for me but geckos....I understand - it's not spiders for me but geckos. We used to live in Greece and they came in the house - aaagh! I used to go and get a neighbour to help or just sleep in another room. How about you have a large heavy jar to put over it or can't you get that close?Caroline Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458832101616631036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490460042834444771.post-71178185616607450872007-10-16T13:20:00.000+01:002007-10-16T13:20:00.000+01:00Oooh, Catherine.

I really like that film. Sorry, what was I saying. Oh yes. However, unlike you, I am very happy to kill them. I know they don't deserve it, but I find it's the only way otherwise I just worry that it'll come back. I certainly have no compunction at all when it comes to dispatching a wasp to wasp heaven.<BR/><BR/>Catherine xCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904848325269342545noreply@blogger.com
