I found a spider in a box in my craft room today, so carefully took the box downstairs with the spider hanging on to a corner. The spider, seeing no way of escape, let itself down by running a thread from its spinnerets (that’s a word we learned today in school, reading “Charlotte’s Web”). By now the boys had caught on to what I was doing, so were all for catching the spider for observation. This we did with great care, even enlisting Nick’s help. It is a wolf spider, or some sort of hunter spider, with great big fangs. Nick helped the boys find a few bugs to put in the bottle for the spider’s supper, but so far all it has done is run away from them. Our supper was fish fingers, chips and beans, which was slightly delayed due to the Great Capture!
Nick has been out this evening, doing recording at Tammy’s. He is going to be getting her vocals recorded for one or two songs. His hand is much improved and he has better mobility in it, but it’s looking slightly swollen.
