There <i>is</i> a variety of house spider that you can hear coming up the stairs, but you don't see that many of them.

Can't tear myself away, actually. Absolutely brilliant writing.<br /><br />My family and I are planning a move to the UK in a few years, but I might have to reconsider if these "house spiders" are a common feature!Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-46041580193757082782011-08-19T20:43:43.161+00:002011-08-19T20:43:43.161+00:00Our dog Buzz really goes for them, too.

No way. A friend said 'that just sounds like a big house spider', by which I suppose she means a spider as big as a house.<br /><br />Chaz - Thanks! It def helps having experienced the situation, though. Then it's just a question of replaying it and finding the words that best fit. Doesn't always turn out as well as I'd hoped, of course, and I always end up missing out loads of stuff. <br /><br />ally - Thanks! I think the patient was embarrassed to be calling us out - despite his obvious pain, and despite the very real emotional trauma of his encounter. But it's always a pleasure to treat people like this. We made the appropriate amount of fuss! <br /><br />Cheers for your comments! :)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-9198778198979140562011-08-18T17:08:21.895+00:002011-08-18T17:08:21.895+00:00I love that you made this response!
