sqeeeeeeeemish

How on earth would you eat spiders in your sleep?

Its 4 I think drc :)) If you sleep with your mouth open MG they can crawl or fall in Eeeeuw..

Incy wincy spider climbing up the bed ...... Don't let Lily see this, she won't sleep for a month !! lol

I'm peeping through my fingers............

Yuck hope i sleep with my mouth closed.

No snoring for you from now on Lily !! haha

If its only 4 thats only one every 20 years if I live to be 80? So be my reckoning I've had my quota if I die before I'm 80.
Perhaps it's an urban myth and we are all sqeemish for nothing?

I think this pretty much proves it is an urban internet myth... http://www.guardian.co.uk/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-23997,00.html

Me Sue? I NEVER snore! lol

I have never swallowed a spider in my sleep, therefore I do not snore. Thank you, Sue.

Tut tut B telling porkies again :-)

I'll make sure my window is closed tonight & that there aren't any spiders in my bedroom either! Lol! :-D

Actually they don't bother me any more & I've slept many nights with spiders in my bedroom & I've woken up the next morning to find the majority were still in the same place as when I turned the light off to go to sleep.

Today I killed about 4 spiders so I'd better be extra careful tonight & make sure there relatives don't come around to take revenge on me! :-D

We normally have spiders wandering around the house - I just leave them free to roam.
My mother had a serious spider phobia and would freak on seeing the tiniest one. I worked on the fear I had taken on board from her an no spider fear now - which is just as well, they are garden goodies!

Yes, as long as they stay in the garden!

'If you wish to live and thrive let the spider run alive'

That must have been written by a spider!

ha ha ha

Look at the good work spiders do... think of all those flies and other bugs hey catch and eat :-)

Balcony !! If you kill a spider it rains !! If the weather's bad on Bank Holiday Monday we'll know who to blame !! lol

Spiders are alright. They do a great job eating all the nasties....inside or outside. So long as the black widows stay outside, I'm fine with them.

Little fear of that in this corner of the UK, Sue. Here in East Anglia we are forecast a couple of very nice days over the Bank Holiday! :)

Dont buy any bananas then!

Lucky you Balcony. Here in the West Mids they've forecast rain, rain and more rain !

Drc, why do you say "Don't buy any bananas then!"? Is it for the spiders that are supposed to live in them? I've never seen or heard of them but I have read about them. Still little possibility of them here as the bananas come loose from the supermarket & have been handled so many times that any spiders would have run away a long time ago! Phew!

Balcony it was just a bit of gun after Guilli talked about black widows.

Oh, OK!

I'm not bothered by creepy crawlies. It's birds I have a phobia of. However they don't come into the house so it's all right ( unless Blodyn catches one )

Are you superstitious Hywel ? (Birds in the house)

No I'm not superstitious. I just don't like birds at all wherever they are. I have a phobia of them.

Must be awful if Blodyn brings you a 'live' pressy !!!

Yes lol. I have to ask a neighbour to come to my rescue lol

Even worse when they're still half alive.

Drc726, Black widows are residents here. You have to watch out when your cleaning out your shed or garage. They are pretty shy and like nice dark corners.

Gilli thats why I never emigrated! - Having to bang the lou seat before use in Australia put me off what if you forget?

Well, I don't think I'd fancy a crocodile coming up the loo and biting my nether regions either..... :oD

LOL. There's definitely something to be said for living in this country, rain and all!!!

What rain lily2?

Well not here either, ground dry as a bone but allegedly it's everywhere else. Just had a very very short shower, just enough to join up the spots on the patio!

Yes thats all we had.

September has started with a bang! Just after 5pm this evening we had a thunderstorm, the first since July. I took a some videos from the balcony with my mobile phone. This is the first time I've done this. I've taken many videos with this new phone, which I've had since March this year, but mainly of my granddaughter. It isn't easy to see the rain in the videos but a couple of thunder claps could be heard, even from inside the house with doors & windows closed. The sound of the wind & rain can also be heard, as can the cars passing by!

We had one lightening bolt that lit up the room & my wife saw it even though she had her back to the window. So did I even though I was sitting here at the computer & the balcony is to my right side.

About 18.30 it was raining quite hard but the sun came out & I saw a lovely rainbow. :)
