Ugh!

This morning I got a call on my mobile and went out onto the balcony where there’s better coverage. Of course, there were new cobwebs, same as most mornings. Unlike most mornings, there was a huge, high-up one. I saw the spider in the centre when it was about 4″ from my nose. Obviously it would have been a much worse surprise 4″ later.
