Delivered to a house today where the front lawn was two inches deep in bees, never seen anything like it.
Apparently it happens to this one house in a crescent of semis every year at this time.

There is another house I have delivered to that in the summer in a thunderstorm the front garden is a sea of frogs, you cannot help treading on them.

Check out THE BLACK SPIDERS if you like rock music. Know what you mean about the cobwebs though. Makes you want to wash your face.

Been here for the past couple of weeks, what's worse if the house spiders.............the giant ones you see running around the floor at this time of the year, apparently they're out looking for a mate (us men would do anything for a quickie :nervous ).

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Had a spider in our D.O. about a month ago.
Big thing with red markings and definitely not native.
Encouraged it into a tray and let it go outside.
It's probably eating the local cats right now. :nervous
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
