'Life' at Celtis St.

It was a great day for getting all the washing done!

Dulcie and I battened down the hatches and switched on the air-con.

My 'Straddie' mosquito bites are less irritating than they have been the past few days....which is good. I am hoping to, one day, be like Will who does not come out in itchy lumps like I do.

Last night while watching the tv in the Man-Cave....something dashed up the wall like a small Maserati....it was a large huntsman spider. I wanted to catch it and throw it out but could not find anything large enough handy to put over it.....and besides, with the speed of it would probably have missed it anyway.....so I left it to whizz behind the book case.

We had to leave a fan on wafting cool air over us as we slept last night. I had a weird dream where strange noises in the dark woke me up....only I suddenly found it was not a dream and I could hear the strange noises.....it was quite alarming at first....particularly with Halloween so close....but then I realised what it was.....

....this!

It's a wonder I got back to sleep!
