Scull gets a hiding
Wow, what a night !
So I sorta hear Mrs Scull get up and go into the ensuite at about 3am, then, a gasp !!, "whats wrong ?" I mumbled. "Big spider, come and get rid of it" she says. "Bulldust, just spray it or something." Oh no, cant kill a little peskie spider, so I have to get up, wander down to the kitchen and get a broom.
We get a lot of Huntsman spiders and although harmless you dont want them crawling over your face when your fast asleep. I usually just hold the broom up, they jump on and I chuck it outside.
Anyway......I get back to the ensuite and "Holy Crap" the biggest spider I have ever seen, big as a dinner plate.
So I hold the broom up to it and it jumps.............RIGHT ON MY FACE !!!. Gods sake....I was under attack, so I did what i always do when under attack.....I punched out at the attacker, 'cept it was on my face, I give it one, but I still had the broom in my hand.
Let me tell you, Im a big bloke and when I hit someone they usually stay hit. I was no exception, I flew back and smashed into the shower screen, took the lot out.
Next thing I know is Mrs Scull is trying to pull me up and yelling at me......"what are you doing?". What a stupid question.
So, I was covered in blood, the screen (double shower) was absolutely wrecked.
4.30am saw me in at the ED getting 4 stitches in my eye and strangely enough....4 stitches on the very top of my head ??. If that wasnt bad enough.....two coppers come strolling over and wanted to know who flogged me. Trying to explain that just got me some queer looks. THEN, they wanted to speak to Mrs Scull by herself.
As I said, What a night.
Cheers Scull
Where do you live Scull? Obviously the big spider is very dangerous, love to know how your insurance company accepts your claim!
