Spidey Report

Many apologies that I did not get to write on the web growth yesterday. I decided to head down to Portsmouth to view the christening of the last of the Royal Navy's new Type 45 warships.

(HMS Duncan is beautiful. As Mr. T might say, I pity any fool that decides to take that on!
Just as an aside I love the names that the Royal Navy come up with for these destoyers - HMS Daring, HMS Dauntless, HMS Diamond, HMS Dragon and HMS Defender. My all time favourite is still HMS Surprise! Probably made most famous from the Peter Weir movie "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World".)

Now then, onto more pressing and important matters.

I popped into The Capitol after I got back from Portsmouth. No major developments with the web. And I am keeping a beady eye out for the one that "stepped out" into the garden last weekend. My eyesight is shot and I'm about to get some new distance spectacles so I'll be able to be a bit more clear about what is happening 40 or so feet above the ground.

I'm so glad I left Oz. That is a shocker. I've now got the heebie jeebies all over again. And want to check under the table here in the library just in case one is lurking there. I have to resist the irrational! Thanks for the link though. Very interesting.

And cheers for the links, too, Red67 and lacb.

I were bitten by a False Black Widow in my old office up in Marylebone. It was a teeny, tiny baby. So, cute. Not much bigger than the full-stop at the end of this sentence. But the localised swelling for about 1 hour had all my colleagues amazed. And I felt slightly ill for a bit but not enough to be sent home for the day. Doggoneit!

Gonna drop by The Capitol for a Lavazza coffee now to see if I can see anything with the Superweb in the lovely early Autumn sunshine.
