Spiders Holidaying in UK Homes
Apparently this little fellow is coming to pay us a visit in the UK this autumn. It’s not even Halloween yet but well he’s keen to make your acquaintance. He doesn’t need much care, just a steady stream of insects to eat, somewhere to hide when the going gets rough. He comes with the guarantee of No Vet Bills to worry about. Play with him from time to time, he promises not to bite. He’s real cute scuttling across the floor. Just don’t bother trying to catch him, he’s mega fast. Oh and whatever you do, don’t break up his web, he gets really upset. That’s his home, he’s spent a lot of time working on it, give Mr Spider a break! How would you feel if somebody smashed up your home?
Ok, joking apart these guys look scary but they’re harmless. Actually they’re quite useful. They’ll keep your insect population down. Handy chaps to have around. This gets me back to a real life event, the other evening my daughter came running into the living room whilst we were watching TV. She said that she’d seen an enormous spider. It was as “big as a Tarantula.” She was so upset she was virtually on the verge of tears. I was a bit sceptical, but now I’m beginning to wonder, did she see our friend above ? No wonder she was upset if she did! Anyway we turned her bedroom upside down, screaming with mounting hysteria every time we thought something had fallen out of a bag, or a shoe. This took a long, long, time, her room isn’t very tidy. Come on she’s a teenager, give her a little slack. Anyway Mr Tarantula didn’t make an appearance again. I think the screaming scared him away, maybe he had a headache and decided that he needed to go for a nap? Or maybe he was hungry and was off to sample a buffet of his favourite insects? Either way I just hope we don’t wake up one morning with him crawling on our faces! We don’t fancy being his delicacy!

Stephen King, I write like him! A WIP of him!
Absolutely agree with Stephen King’s quote. Books have this amazing quality about them, they transport us into another world, a world in which anything is possible. Well with this in mind, let me tell you about a bit of fun I had yesterday, I posted the first few lines of my novel in this website: http://iwl.me/ I write Like. My writing was analysed. I have to say I was astonished when the website matched me to Stephen King. One, I don’t write horror! There are scary bits in my book, and parts of it have frightened me. Though I am easily scared by my own writing. I have too vivid an imagination not to be! This is a bit of a hazard. Two, Stephen King is a legend, and I’m just well a bit of a work in progress, yes a WIP.
Anyway, I now have the I write like Stephen King badge, why not! Nice to collect a few honours!
So I thought I would share some of my favourite Stephen King quotes with you:
“If you liked being a teenager, there’s something really wrong with you.”
(Oops, I loved being a teenager, what can I say?)
“A short story is a different thing all together – a short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.” SkeletonCrew
(And a short story is so difficult to write! It kills me every time, the kiss of death.)
“The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn’t real. I know that, and I also know that if I’m careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.” Night Shift
“Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman’s got to hold on to.” ― Stephen King, Dolores Claiborne
“Humor is almost always anger with its make-up on.”― Stephen King, Bag of Bones
“Friends. They aren’t any such thing as good friend or bad friend. Maybe there are just friend. People who stand by you when you’re hurt and who helped you feel not so lonely. Maybe they are worth“Maybe there aren’t any such things as good friends or bad friends – maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you’re hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they’re always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that’s what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.”― Stephen King, It
(I have a mega, enormous fascination with time, and so does Stephen King):
“Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.”
“Time’s the thief of memory.”
– The Gunslinger.
(And I can identify with this Stephen King quote so much):
“I tend to scare myself.”― Stephen King
“FEAR stands for fuck everything and run.” Doctor Sleep
“High school isn’t a very important place. When you’re going you think it’s a big deal, but when it’s over nobody really thinks it was great unless they’re beered up.”― Stephen King, Carrie
“It’s strange how pain marks our faces, and makes us look like family.”― Stephen King, The Green Mile
“Calling it a simple schoolgirl crush was like saying a Rolls-Royce was a vehicle with four wheels, something like a hay-wagon. She did not giggle wildly and blush when she saw him, nor did she chalk his name on trees or write it on the walls of the Kissing Bridge. She simply lived with his face in her heart all the time, a kind of sweet, hurtful ache. She would have died for him..”― Stephen King, It
“You want to remember that while you’re judging the book, the book is also judging you.”
― Stephen King, Night Shift
“Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.”― Stephen King, Different Seasons
“If I have to spend time in purgatory before going to one place or the other, I guess I’ll be all right as long as there’s a lending library.”― Stephen King
“Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink. Drink and be filled up.”― Stephen King
“Reading a good long novel is in many ways like having a long and satisfying affair”― Stephen King
“The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want for nothing. He makes me lie down in the green pastures. He greases up my head with oil. He gives me kung-fu in the face of my enemies. Amen”― Stephen King, The Stand
