catalyst2 | Ewwwwwwwwwwww

Just got up from the laptop to make a drink and put my slippers on. As I put the left one on, there was a moment of brief resistance under my heel and then a sticky wet squelch underfoot as I crushed something. I rip my slipper off and threw it as far away from me as I could (fortunately everyone else has gone to bed so no-one saw my pathetic display). My heel was sticky with yellowy-green gunk. When I eventually peeked in the slipper, there was the biggest spider I have *ever* seen. It's body was at least six inches across and its legs were probably about 2 feet, maybe even three feet across! Just frigging enormous! Almost as big as a small dog! I had to scoop all the gunk out of the slipper and wash my heel whilst gagging all the way!

It is just possible that in all my hysteria, the spider was just *slightly* smaller than three feet across. Still .... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
