This one's for temeres
This morning, I trundled into my shower as usual... and it wasn't until I'd already almost finished that I noticed I had a visitor, because, well, it was kind of hidden by the towel hanging over the side of the shower cubicle.
It was a ruddy great SPIDER!
The most ENORMOUS Daddy Long Legs spider I have ever seen in my LIFE!
And I was standing there starkers. Fortunately, I'm not like my mother, who probably would have jumped, screamed, and shrieked "Kill it! Kill it!" Instead I carefully exited the shower, got another towel, dried myself, wrapped the towel around myself, and - thinking of temeres - grabbed my camera, entered the shower stall again, and took photos.
This was the most nervewracking photo to take, because I put my fingers near it, because I wanted to give people some sense of scale, that, yes, it is THAT BIG!
This one was taken at an angle, but I think it shows the details very well.
I checked just now, and it's still there. I hope it's gone in the morning, please. I really don't fancy sharing another shower with it.
(ETA: edited to fix link to second picture)
So, temeres, what do you think?
