One night David made me a cup of tea (he's a wonderful guy and will make me tea) using some loose tea leaves which swirl about in the bottom of the cup and look all pretty. Well, as I was finishing this particular cup I glanced into it and noticed that there among the dark brown leaves was a small grey object. So I handed the cup to David, thanked him for making it for me and said "....and, uhm, next time, no spider, okay?" He was actually more horrified than I was and neither of us had any clue when it got into the cup. I still hope that she got into the Ziploc-ed container in which the tea was stored and was already dead before she was boiled. (Not that it makes much difference to her, but it does to me.)
More exciting stories featuring arachnids coming soon!

The following should be sung to the tune of the old Spider-Man Theme, obviously.
*Clears throat*
Spider Tea! Spider Tea! Arachnidy goodness for you and me.
Spins a web—In your Mug
Tastes just like—A cozy Hug
Look out! When you make Spider Tea.
In your Kitchen at night, when you long for a cup
Spider Tea is great so be sure to drink up
Spider Tea! Spider Tea! Could be worse, like mouse coff-ee
When you brew, just watch out
Next time wash the Spider out
Because!
Tea should be warm and Soothing
Not include something moving
Or enjoy Spider Teeeeeeeeeeea!
You took a photo of the spider with your cell phone didn't you?
