I had to trim my fence and Filomena Costa came to help packing the cuttings to be taken to the rubish tip. We were sitting having a rest when Filomena cried: "Oh! my God look at this!!!". Next to her was this lovely God creature (Mr Google tells us that it is a Cyrtophora hirta and the venom of this spider may cause mild illness). Just to be on the safe side I treated it with a soft blow of the trimming sissors.
