This morning I turned on the shower and began heartily humming a tune under my breath. A fly in the shower decided that he was not going to shower with me and flew smack bang into a spiders web that had been cleverly spun around the bars of the shower window.
Now I shower every morning and I was quite amazed how discreet this spider had been in making my shower his abode. I had not previously noticed the Web.
In a flash, Spider zoomed across his elaborate Web and got hold of Fly. With his long spindly legs he quickly wound up Fly in some sort of cocoon. Images of the Anaconda movies flashed through my mind.
I stood transfixed, watching with bated breath as Spider casually threw Fly over his shoulder and promptly hauled him into the dark recess of the windows pane.
It was then that I noticed Spider2 concealed in the dark corner. Perhaps it was Mrs Spider because what followed next was truly amazing.
Spider presented his cocooned gift to the Missus and then took his stance again as watchman, waiting to spring upon the next unsuspecting fly.
I finished my shower, without song, I must add. But the big question remains!
Do I or Don't I evict Spider from my shower?
After all it is fly season and I don't fancy them much. Buzzing about spreading diseases.
As for spiders........mmmm... They do seem to be much more conscious of hygiene standards.
For now Spider and his Missus and the Web is still very much intact.
