no job for an arachnophobe

Spent yesterday fending off spiders, large and small, in the activity I used to call weeding but is now more to do with spider wrestling. They are in plague propotions, spinning trees, and, as demonstrated more distressing this morning, garden paths, white with webbing, and they weren't small buggers, either. Any spider I, nightblind myopic old bird that I am, can see from 10 metres away in the dark, is way too big, imho.
