This entry was inspired by this post at 52 Weeks of Wordage.
I never expect to find a spider from a branch of broccoli when preparing for dinner. But that was what I found the other day, and it was not a small one, an easy 2 inches measure from the ends of leg to leg. I was tempted to hit that eight legged creature on the chopping board with the knife I was holding at that time. But years of training, a.k.a. being in Australia, made me control myself and opts to capture it in stead.
This used to be a candle holder. For years it has long been the insects transportation device of our house, to have them captured if found indoor and move them to the outside.
Besides spiders, the usual passengers are moths and flies during summer. Eko, our resident cat is normally the first on scene when any of these visitors began to make themselves noticeable. Although to him it was just a game of catch and play, he does help us to locate these uninvited guests around the house efficiently.
Living with cat also has its downside. Eko being an active individual would wake me up at 5:30am asking for breakfast. Or occasionally when he was not satisfied with the status of his litter tray and decided to do his business on the tiled floor next to the tray. This was what happen last night and to avoid further disaster I had to pull myself out of bed and clean it up. After that was done I did wash my hands but I still felt dirty. Maybe because it was late and I didn't want to wake J. I just didn't slept well last night.
