“The other day I read an article about Australia and discovered that about 9 of the most poisonous spiders in the world live there. This was bad news to me as I am scared of spiders and once, when I was looking after my neighbour’s cats, a spider was brushed onto my shoulder from its web between the screen doors. I didn’t notice it until I felt something running down the inside of my blouse……I ripped off my blouse, the spider jumped onto a couch and I quickly put a glass over it, found a piece of cardboard to shove under the glass, and carried the spider back outside to put it on a tree. So, after that, I re-named this assemblage “Naked and Afraid in Australia”.
