Randolph Recent readers will know I'm a big girl when it comes to spiders. Today I got an SMS, followed by a phonecall, from an ex-pupil of mine. He has just been bitten by a spider, and asked me what to do. I told him to find a doctor and if possible, take the spider with him, or at the very least, try and describe it.
I'm a little overwhelmed by the fact that I was the first person he asked what to do. Just as well I'm sitting down. In the phonecall he said there was a doctor close by, so he's going straight there.
Bewildering, isn't it? I hope it isn't serious, Kenneth.
