Unwelcome guest

We try to be as friendly as we can to guests here in the ClaudeStreet house, but last night all politeness had to go out the window...

After reading about Frodo's encounter with Shelob at the end of the "Two Towers" last weekend, last night I moved onto "The Return of the King". Happily sat in bed with the book I suddenly spotted a little Shelob of my own running across the floor... being not too friendly with spiders I smoothly jumped out of bed and headed towards my slippers (sorry spider lovers)... but as i turned round it made a run under my desk... torch grabbed and desk cleared I tried to find it, but failed... untill I turned round and discovered it climbing up onto my bed!

All consideration out of the window, the sliper got it's reflex action and mini-Shelob was no more... but for the next hour the room got a proper survey for any other little guests... and all because of that I only got 5hrs sleep again... I hate spiders...
