It's been raining here on and off all day. Thankfully, we live on
high ground .. although there is some higher ground above us. We've
not had a problem in over 30 years, so let's hope it stays that way.
RG would love it to dry out so he can finish paving the patio. The
same drier spell would allow to finish planting bulbs.

My heart goes out to the poor souls with indoor floods. Horrendous!


Actually its not that bad. When the family are safe, we tend to think
£££. That is what I worried about last year.
Later on you think differently. £££ are meaningless. Thats my
thoughts anyway.

I'm glad you are able to look at it in that way. I know you've had
some awful flood problems, sewerage and all. I do hope this winter
isn't going to mean more misery for you. Fingers crossed.


Thankyou, Spider.
Fingers crossed or all 8 legs? How many toes is that again?

Baz


You're welcome.

If a spider has its full complement of 8 legs, then it will have 8 toes
(tarsal tips). However, at the end of each tarsal tip are either 2 or 3
tarsal claws (depending on spider species). Therefore, there could be
16 or 24 tarsal claws used for gripping stratum.
Naturally, for you, I crossed all my tarsal claws! :~))
