Why you always...

... wear your gloves while gardening

silmaril, do NOT click, for there is a spider beneath.

It's a red-back, one of quite a few in the bush I was pruning. About 8mm across the body.

No, it didn't get me.


In other stories, once upon a time petrol was 37 cents (Australian) a litre.


(That's 91.5 US cents per gallon)

I think that price dates from 1981.

I know that we always end up a bit careless about such things! Chaos and I grabbed some old wood leaned up against the fence in this complex so we could make a makeshift bench for our tomatoes.

Guess what was discovered ALL OVER IT UNDERNEATH halfway back...

Eeeeeee!

Yeah, that is one amazing price for petrol.

I thought the pump was pretty sexay. ;-)

(Still, eeeeee! Gloves!)

Like I said on Flickr, that dilapidated pump belongs on the cover of a Midnight Oil album.

As for the spider... *twitch*

I disturbed a rather large redback here at Debtor's Prison last week. She was minding her own business behind some stacked pavers when I came along & ruined her roost.

We looked at each other for a second or two, then she begrudgingly went off house-hunting. No, I wasn't wearing gloves...

I remember back in about '88 when petrol crossed the 50c mark, my father said we'd never see it under 50c again. I thought the same a couple of years ago when it leapt over one dollar. Look around in Sydney today ~ what do I know?!

Eeeek! Spider! Does it have venom?

[reynardo.livejournal.com]

Oh yes - enough for a couple of days off work but not enough to kill you.

Much.
