Yesterday I passed a man telling a small boy that he was 'getting spider with yuman zed' - my first thought was that this was must be a new and interesting foodstuff - maybe on the takeaway menu at Wagamama. Lockdown has made me obsess about food even more than usual so it was a bit disappointing to realise a few seconds later that the man was actually telling the boy that he would be getting 'a spider with a human head' and I think that sounds too big to eat.
Maybe I'm just making up excuses, I buy sheep and deer from the butcher, I hardly think a human-headed spider would be much bigger than these creatures, if they do arrive on the market, portion size is probably not going to be the main issue.

This morning I set fire to the vaccuum cleaner after hoovering up warm ashes - the smell was far worse than I could've imagined
I still swim in the sea but only for 5 minutes because it's reached the sort of cold that makes a person go completely crispy - in the way of those lettuces that get stuck at the back of a fridge
A dog fox has been patrolling our neighbourhood every night for the last week making a noise that sounds like a queaky-toy

Noooooooo! You vacuumed hot ashes???
ReplyDeleteAnd why am I more curious about this than the human-spider hybrid? Lockdown is making us all go a bit crispy around the edges.
Sx
Those hot ashes were a spectacularly stupid thing in a whole week of stupid xx
DeletePerhaps the man was talking about a False Widow spider, which has a skull=like marking on its back.Or perhaps he meant a T shirt.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that will signal our next mutation of Covid? The way things are going, anything is likely!
But I am happy to see you are still with us.
I thought maybe a fancy dress costume - t-shirt also possible but I'm in the mood for an actual big spider with an actual yumen zed xx
