I told someone today about Ray being bitten on the lip and that I was
convinced it was a spider what dunnit. He sent me the following which I

A friend who runs a shop nearby was mooching in the covered area at
the back (loads of stuff stored there and a bit dark) - she was bitten
by a spider and got some serious flu and cold sore type things on her
lips even though at 70 she's never had them before.
