Near death experience etc

Well today has had it all.

Sunshine with bells on. Not a cloud in the sky. It was very hot.

I went down the beach for a walk, as you do as an unemployed bum in Australia. It was very pleasant but very hot.

On the way home I caught the bus, as you do. As I was sitting there I had this feeling that someone was looking at me, you know how that happens?? So I look over and see this guy sitting across from me leering and ahem, massaging his crotch. Oh great. I thought for a bit, it might have been the two girls sitting behind me, but alas they got off the bus and the dude was still there giving me the eye.

D'you know the worst part of it was that I must have looked like a total scumbag having had suncream all over my face and being all sweaty and salty, and yet here I was gaining the attention of someone who feels the need to have a wank on the bus. I must have bad karma.

And I think that was confirmed this evening, when I went to hang out my washing on the line but was super alert for the critters when I saw a spider in the corner. At first I thought I might be able to be bold and just get on with the hanging out the washing, but really I was only kidding myself and had to come in. Chopper had to go out an investigate and then he tried to call me out to see it. Erm hello? No way jose. After much abuse and hassle I went and had a look from a safe distance of about 5 feet away. He says, do you see this spider? And I'm like, YES!! And he says, do you see the red spot on it's back?? So you can imagine I was away from there like someone had lit a fire under my ass. I don't need to see that shit, I want to be as far away from that as is humanly possible.

The worst part of it is that it's still out there. It could be there tomorrow, the next day, the day after. Oh god, no one understands my absolute terror. SHIT!!!!!
