TAKING CARE OF ARTHUR: For the past four nights a tiny endearing money spider has been residing in the corner of my bathroom sink. I’ve washed my hands carefully so as not to frighten him, and by the third night I’d christened him Arthur. “Come and meet my friend”, I called out to my husband. “Poor little beggar can’t get out”, he said, lifting Arthur onto the side of the basin. “Don’t you hurt him”, I said. [ I had no idea that spiders can’t climb up the side of a basin] “Go check on him” I said after ten minutes “he’s had nothing to eat for four days”. “He’s fine, he’s gained two pounds already”, said my husband, playing along to keep the peace. I’m not usually as besotted by spiders , but there was something of a cry for help about the way Arthur lingered in my sink. Eventually I left him to his own devices. I never saw the going of him. I should have made him a bed up on a cotton wool ball with whatever it is that spiders eat. [the equivalent of an arachnoid Travel Lodge], just until he found his bearings.
