It's bit floody

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! :~)) Imagine.... a pedicure. Be there all f'n week. A new hairdo while u wait. No wonder some tarantulas throw their hair off. I can understand why now, if the hairdresser is as bad as mine. A bit of moisteuriser on the exoskeleton sir/madam? Helps you shed it! Nah, just wax me legs. Something for the weekend then? We have some nice new lines in venom, I sold a batch to that Funnel Web charecter just the other day.. A cup of liquidised insect perhaps? It is all nicely wrapped up in silk, the way you like it! ...etc. Baz |

As for all that other malarkey, I'll stick to shedding my skin once in a while. Saves all that 'poodle parlour' nonsense. Mind you, I have to wait for my fangs to harden afterwards .. that can be tricky. In this household, spiderspeak is taken (almost) seriously. When RG startles me by his sudden appearance, I usually jump out of my skin which sets off spidery talk. We even say 'pardosa' instead of pardon .. though not in polite company! -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
