Spiders

[smokingboot]

Once you start to notice them, you realise they're everywhere. I've been hit in the face (not in the face!) yes in the face, by dozens of long cobweb strands looping out on the wind across gates and hedges, trees and gates. They seem random but I don't believe it.

My suspicion is that if they ever stop and the cobwebs break for good, all the objects on the earth's surface will just float off or fall over. Gravity is a myth invented to keep us comfortable and unaware of our arachnid overlords.

In other news, I have decided I'd quite like to live in an airship.

If you lived in airship, it could have special lines spun to the earth by the spiders when you wanted to pop down to the surface for a while, for tea or visiting friends.

I don't know if attempts to be completely free of the spiders are resented by them. I do know they are persistent and we cannot ever defeat them if we wanted to try-I cleaned our windows for the first time in ages recently, trashing the homes of a vast multitude of spiders, and they are all back now, quietly smirking and displaying webs far grander and ambitious then any I cleaned away.

Conquered by the beautiful!

I don't mind their plans for world domination. Britain alone is going to need those webs big time once we've run out of gaffa...
