Spiders with boots on

Quietly sitting reading, I heard the patter of tiny feet. When I say tiny, we're not talking children, pregnancy or anything remotely connected but to a bloody big house spider scurrying across the new floor. 

Last time I heard a sound like that it was in Spain when a super-sized cockroach lifted itself up and legged it across the floor in front of me 😳

Glad to say, this set of hob nail boots belonged to a friend not foe (house spiders eat flies and other insect intruders).

My visitor however, was caught under a glass and a piece of card was slid between her and the floor.

It's mild, it was dry, so I put her outside. 

Rather not have her marching across the bed when I'm in it thank you very much.
