I am knackered after another poor night's sleep - this time, after 6.5 hours on spider alert.
I was in bed, playing my late night game of Spider Solitaire*** on my Galaxy Tab, when I felt a tickling sensation on my hand. At first, I ignored it, but then it became more insistent. I looked down and found a huge spider pawing at my skin! 
 
I leapt out of bed and swatted at the spider with the tablet computer, almost dashing the expensive device against a wall in the process! No luck - the spider scuttled off and hid.
So, you can understand that the slightest sensation on my skin during the night had me wide awake and turning the light on to check the bed for arachnid attackers!
*** Apt, eh?
