Spider

Dad has obviously spent most of the night emailing. Despite his advancing years he often appears less mature than my nineteen year old daughter. Last night’s batch of emails were all entertaining enough except one, he wrote to tell me to check inside the kettle before brewing up. Yesterday he found the remains of a rather large spider that had come to an untimely death in the boiling bowels of his stainless steel filter kettle. He only discovered it when he got to the bottom of his tea cup and saw a rogue leg floating around. During spring spiders can come out of hibernation a tad too early, when the cold night sets in they look for somewhere warm to cosy up and as they are practically blind they often mistake kettles for heating central heating systems and fall in. I forwarded the email to all friends and the team. Although I am off sick I feel everyone should be forewarned.
