Spider webs

[wabbithunta]

T%here's one delivery I go to that's like an assault course with spiders webs. At the start you're faced with an "archway" through the hedge at the gate. One big mother of a cobweb, I was checking the mail at the gate and didn't see it until the last minute and swatted it away with the mail.. 1st spider dealt with. Then there is a pergola on the pathway and yet another cobweb to destroy on the way to the front door. 2nd spider dealt with and finally a huge bugger at the doorway suspended from a hanging plant down across the doorway to a small bush on the opposite side of the door! Destroyed as it was across the letter box...

Jeez, this job can be cruel and heartless at this time of year!

I love this post, its my first summer as a postie and i too use the letters like a demented swordsman walking up paths, swearing at the spiders clinging on to what remains of their webs as i walk back down. So funny to see i'm not alone...

I was covered in webs last week and was sick of wiping them off my face. They are in most doorways with those big tiger-coloured spiders sitting slap bang in the middle of them. After encountering a web up a path and having the spider hanging off my collar, I too arrived at the door hopping around in a demented fashion and making strange noises. The householder came rushing out to see what the fuss was about. He said "Oh, I thought you were being accosted" to which I replied "I am", pointing to the furry thing which was still absailing downwards. I can't stand them.

Been wearing my cap lately solely for this reason,tends to keep them of my face at least as that is what really winds me up.

And I thought it was just me. Been off for a fortnight and this last week back at work there has been an enormous increase in the number of spiders about. It's also been foggy all week and the webs are more visible due to the water droplets on them. Walking into some gardens it's like the scene with the giant spiders in The Hobbit film.

It's that time of the year again, apparently a new starter in our office freaked out a bit by a face full of cobweb this week.

Spider webs on hanging baskets.

Double whammy of tourettes.

Especially the hanging baskets which are hanging from the front door canopy right at head level, with a low level letterbox.

I met one full on from this position, it swung forward, I ducked and it had just been filled to the brim with water and my back got drenched as it tipped on the backswing, was the first loop of the day and our lapsing, whole street must have thought I had tourettes.
