So it is spider time of year in the 90

I've been driving about a lot over the weekend, and every morning as I go to the garage to fill up a spider has woven a new web over my fuel cap. What a futile thing to do.
 
When i used to cycle a lot, on rural roads in Somerset you'd get cobwebs stretched right across the road. It must have confused the spiders no end when cars went by or i went past on my bike. 'What an enormous fly! That would have kept me going for ages'. And as their little legs spread wider as they tried to tell their arachnoid friends about the size of the one that got away, their friends would smirk in disbelief.

A brave confession to past cycling habit! Thanks for sharing. Hope you have recovered from this now! :)
 
Here's the piccy:

Ha i did a tip run the other day for a lady friend and when i was unloading the landy and trailer i found a couple of frogs jumping about in both landy and trailer so i did the honerable thing and took them back and there was quite a few spider's in the rubbish aswell :D
 
Wildlife seems to like Land Rovers. A friend of mined bought a 2004 TD5 back in June and Dinitrioled it for him. When I was cleaning the underneath in preparation for this I found a lot of twigs in the drive's side sill. I pulled them out and discovered it was a bird's nest, complete with eggs. Possibly a Blackbird's Unfortunately the birds responsible must have been miles away, in the seller's garden near Banbury , so there was little hope of reuniting them. I felt really sad. Birds on the other hand are typically quite philosophical about it - if they lose a nest they'll get on with it and make another.
