I have an overriding fear of spiders even the most modest money spider can keep me awake at night I can literally see it in the dark edging its way over the ceiling ready to land on my face when I least expect it.
Riding into work today just ambling in a “the faster I go the sooner I get to work” mindset so whilst shoulder checking I spot a bloody spider out the corner of my eye, I’m sooo proud of myself look again gone I know it’s just lurking, lift visor and the bloody thing scuttles across my internal sun visor and disappears resulting in blind panic and manic hand waving rush of adrenaline look again gone some slow breaths and relax. Pull visor down and there’s a bloody green grasshopper looking thing stuck to the inside of it do you think I could get to it, I swear the more I tried the further away it got, did I say I hate bugs so I pull in to a layby, finally managed to extricate it from between my visors, I can assure you I looked for that spider still not convinced it’s gone needless to say the visor stayed down, I’m still sitting here keeping my eye on the helmet just in case! Did I mention I hate bugs!!!
who leaves an expensive life saving bit of kit in a shed!!!
