The Spider

Eight Legged Freak!

Ok I have never ever seen a bigger spider in my entire life. I was almost asleep when Eric shouts out that I have to come down and watch the bloody thing, but as the coward I am I had a quick look from the staircase and slowly started to panic. The speed and the possibility of the huntsman to jump increased the fear factor a lot and at one stage Eric screams “it has eyes, it stared at me, and it has big blue eyes”.

This particular spider was obviously suicidal entering my home, with my spider phobia and Eric as the greatest guardian and saviour of my life, although he slightly hinted that if there were an actual life threatening situation I had to come to my senses and DEAL with it.

I am not pro killing, but sorry this one had to go. The spider disappeared for a while so when Jay came to the rescue both he and Eric refurnished the whole living room to find it and eventually manage to kill it. Eric killed it with a mixture of hairspray, weed killer and finished it all off with my Good Health Magazine all with some help from Jay of course, the jumping ping pong ball that tried to be a man although he was as scared as me. I know Eric don’t like to do these things either but one of us had to do it and I guess he love me too much not to as well as there were no other option available as I refused to leave the bedroom.

After 3 years in Australia I have never experiences such a huge scary hairy spider and YES Björn it was about 3 times bigger than the one in the bathroom. My Spider fear was almost gone, or at least I’ve come so far that I actually can walk pass a tree with a spider or web in it and i can see a tiny one without crying but this F***er brought it all back so unfortunately I will have to start all over again, which will not be a problem only difficult.

Regained mental note, monsters do exists.
