Hillarys, Perth, WA 

Well I haven't turned into Spider-Man...yet

A few days ago I saw a spider that had been run over, just by the garage door. 

It was BIG..(ish)

I touched it and to my horror I got spiked. As mild panic began to build I realised one of its spiky bits had become lodged in my finger, a spider splinter.

When I figured the toxins were not going to paralyse me in the few seconds that had passed, I did what all blokes do and just ignored it.

Although after an hour or so I did tell Caroline, just in case I went a bit weird. Her mum heard and went straight for the antiseptic, as (nearly) all mums do.

Good old mums.
