hunted

i am so freakin brave!

here we are, just sitting in our lounge room on a saturday afternoon, me on the couch preoccupied with facebook and howie sitting at the coffee table editing some image in lappy.

something moves in the corner of my eye, to my left and behind howie, on the doona that's sitting on the couch.

after a double take i realise it's a freakin huntsman, freakin huge and freakin scary, and i jump about two metres to my right, whilst telling howie to hurry up and get up and move.

he didn't know what the fuss was but like a good husband was obedient, and joined me as i explained to him there was a freakin big spider centimetres from his head. i then took him for a better view of the creature. he had to go pee.

i got a container out of the cupboard and was man of the house. i caught the spider, took a photo, and then took him outside and put him in the neighbours hedge.

i discovered this is a good container for any future spider capturing and releasing. it's got a good sized diameter and is quite deep, reducing the risk of any spider contact.

but adrenaline is still running through my veins i tells ya!
