I sent down a safety line to rescue a spider trapped in the bath today. Once she (or he - I'm not too fussed about sex) had climbed a third of the way up I hauled her the rest of the way and put her on the bathroom floor. She gave me a brief nod then headed off to make the most of the rest of her life. As did I.

I spent this evening with someone who kills spiders. What chance do we have?
