Spider sluicing

Sunshine, and a post breakfast surge into the garden to tackle the glasshouse, emptying it of pots and trays and so on, then pressure washing it inside and out.  I got rather wet doing this, especially the spraying the inner roof panes, but it was satisfying. Sluiced away dozens of spiders and cobwebs lumpy with still-wrapped delicacies. Then picking snails off the special dimply pots Lorraine will plant this year's tomatoes in. 

A few hours of this, followed by a long bout of reading and watching a bit of rugby on TV from the comfort of the gold sofa.  

Below a false widow spider, which can give you a bit of a stinging bite apparently, encountered during the day.
