Oi said oi would ave a go at spoiders as they is liddle beggers that folk ave certain feelings about.Flies most folk ain't bothered over unless they is crawlin over the rock buns or rubbin they liddle legs on the baby's rattle.
Spoiders now they as a reaction.... usually a scream or a asty shuffle towards a door. Out comes the broom or the cloth or someone braver to ustle the liddle beggar to greener pastures loike. Oi finds spoiders a great help. The farm was always crawlin with em and as the flies was all over the midden they spoiders kept me and the maids in good form. It was when they got into the ouse that Mother would take a dislike and oi would ear an oller to come and clear one out toot sweet. That there is French. Mother dragged me to Paris a while back and oi picked up a bit of the lingo loik you do.
They as spoiders in France an all. Oi expect them ot countries has them as big as dinner plates.That moight give one a turn coming up agin that on the wall.
Oi did ear of one poor lass as went in for her morning shower and stepped on a tarantula that was avin a liddle look down the drain. She said she thought she had stepped on a banana as it squished loik.Least she thought it was a banana till she looked down. Spoiders in the bath is one thing.....
Oi had one furry beggar come out of a box of blueberries oi was havin a liddle nibble on. It were a black hairy beggar an jumpy too.It opped out of they box an at me quick as a wink.Oi thinks what the... an it hops on the floor.Furry as Ol Nick it were.Oi could ave eaten en if oi hadn't been payin mind to what oi were doin. Oi don't moind spoiders but oi draws the line at eaten they. Kinda gone off the blueberries for a bit.
Don't matter rasps are in and it's them beggarly wasps oi has to watch out for when oi am pickin they.Now a wasp oi has no use for, narsty they is an sting you as soon as look at you. They'll ave a go at each other if there ain't anything else around.Reminds of some folk oi know, no names moind...
Back again in a bit... cheerio for now an mind ow ye go.

Oim Back
Oi 'ad no idea it's been soo long.Oi 'as been up to moi eyes in it oi 'as but we're a bit more settled Mother and oi so 'ere oi sits wroitin this danged thing.
Mother were in foreign parts more than she were at 'er own foireside this past winter. Whizzin round loike a Catherine Wheel she were. Oi was tendin 'earth and 'ome as oi caan't be doin with eatin what oi caan't name.
Martin 'as his 'and to the wheel and the liddle maids is doin well though this wet spring we 'ad 'as brought its troubles. The maids was up to their 'ocks in muck most of April.
No floods loik what they 'as in them western places in Canada, poor sods. They'll be puttin their 'orses in hip waders for that there Stampede if they 'as it at all. Though mind you oi 'as no sympathy for that Chuck Wagon lot. Puttin those poor 'orses through all that. Them should be runnin around they barrels and the 'orses drivin. See how they loikes them apples!
Nowt funnier than folk as my old nan used to say though oi would say a spring lamb out to grass can give you a chuckle.
Mother says oi has a one track mind. Oi 'as oi suspect. It's livestock or nowt. Oi apologizes if oi am borin you but you signed up to read my palaver, oi hasn't 'eld a gun to your 'ead loik now, 'as oi?
Oi seems to be runnin out of steam.Toby an oi was up till all hours watching telly an it's played 'avoc with moi back though Toby seems fit enough. Oi was plannin to give you a 'eads up on spoiders as oi 'ave a fondness for they liddle beggars but we'll save it for next time. Moi 'ot water bottle 'as gone cold 'an oi'm all out of teabags.
Till next toime,
Tara,
