Bigger than two euros? Oh gods! And spiders in your trousers? Eep!

I fear and hate and loathe spiders so much I can't even begin to describe it. I'm so lucky to live this far in the north, because the spiders that inhabit buildings here are very rarely that big. I grew up in the countryside, so one would have thought that I would have got used to them, but I haven't. Luckily, these days I live so far above the ground that during the four years I've lived in this flat, I've seen exactly one spider and its size was approximately three millimetres.
