Long Legged | Huge Hairy

Sitting alone in crepuscular silence, a little after midnight, I was typing on my Mac when suddenly a huge, hairy, stripy-legged spider rappelled straight down from the ceiling, landing smack in the middle of the keyboard!

Wow... what a surprise!

Immediately it started racing around, across the screen, over the back and then across the screen again, round and around, sometimes over the keyboard and others over the display. I watched its antics, knowing that these spiders, like Ridgebacks, have their crazy run-amock moments and that it is best to leave them to it.

Eventually, it stopped somewhere out of direct eyesight from where I sat. Getting up and walking around the desk slowly, I saw it had come to rest on the back of the MacBook Air.

That was not where it remained though; the games had already began...

 

 

Let me know if you'd  like to know more about the games...

Excerpt from the Little Green Book with Glitter


I was enjoying my own company in the warmth of the sun, reading Mary Magdalene Bride in Exile, and enjoying cold food; the usual...

I had said no to a boat ride, preferring to stay here "alone".

A man with several children walk by (looks Englishey, I note) followed by "mother" and several next generation relatives. An elderly gentleman in a wheelchair is pushed across opposite me in order to access the restaurant terrace. I pause my reading and observe...

...and smile at the gentleman as he and his family negotiate their way onto the terrace.

It is good to see multi-generational caring families. :-)

Someone moves a chair opposite me at my table and the the gentleman in the wheelchair is through.

...

After that, an elderly lady came up to me: she had vibrant blue eyes and explained her husband was the one in the wheelchair. Previously, she told me, they had done everything together, travelled, cycled... the list went on. She explained how life had changed for them.

She thanked me for smiling at her husband.

"You have a beautiful smile," she said, "It helped..."

Really - honestly... she added.

Our eyes met, the lady's and mine, as we affirmed positively soul to soul.

She thanked me from her heart and I thanked her;

she for my SMILE
me for her WORDS
