I found a ‘friend’ making a home in my bottom board the other day. I had seen a spider there for about a week, but it wasn’t until I pulled out the bottom board that I saw what type of spider it was!
For those that don’t know about Redback spiders, you can read all about them here:
Fatalities are rare, but it got two of my girls 
Phew! Lucky for you, you didn’t stick your fingers in that corner lifting boxes off… a not-so-pleasant surprise.
When I was little, I used to play with redback spiders and bullants with my brother 
Good times being a kid in Australia 
Same here Faroe, minus the bull ants, growing up at Granville in Sydney. I’m sure they grow bigger in Queensland, I found some monsters under a hive once.
Well it was those ants, that were big, segmented orange and black… you know the ones? I can’t remember their names. When I looked up online, the photo was different to bullants… or maybe we just called them that, getting old can’t remember 
Old??..in your 30’s
lol well, I’m coming up to 36, my memory is better than when I was younger though. (it’s a joke, kinda)
Youth misspent on dubious mushrooms, cacti and highly aromatic inhalables? 
I squashed the bottom of the stem of a funny mushrooms I was talking about last week, for curiosity only, but it remained white. It must have been just another toadstool.
Whenever I hear that someone supposedly grew out of it, I think of Willi Nelson.
Dear old wise one, sorry, I mean Dawn, I did not have a taste for mushrooms in my youth, although I have always loved succulents for their fortitude
And I do not know what you refer to “aromatic inhalables”, are you referring to essential oils? Yes, I do like these in a diffuser, or in natural cosmetics 
What did Willi Nelson say? I always liked his songs. shot gon willi sits around in his underwear… la la la la pulling out all of his air.
I was thinking that Dawn was referring to illegal (in some parts of the world & states) aromatic inhalables, during a misspent youth. A substance that Nimbin if well known for. Whenever I hear someone say “he’ll grow out of it”, I always think to myself that Willi Nelson never grew out of it.
