here’s hoping.I think NZ is doing far better at the leadership aspect. I had to stop watching the idiot here. I started tuning in to Jessica Ahern for the kind of reassurance and guidance we need from leadership at times like this. The effects seem to be good here tho - although it’s a critical time RN as folks are starting to relax a bit, so will see how things go once the economic pathways start getting opened up again (retail etc.)
No doubt! I dont doubt it for second - with spiders sometimes size doesn’t matter!
I used to be terrible w them, am a lot better now. I can actually be in the room of one is on the wall now... but if it starts moving I’m outta there! LOL! Thankfuy the lovely other is a champion of spider catching. We use a plastic container and a hard flat something, like cardboard or stiff plastic sheet. You have to catch them by very quickly putting the container over them and then slide the flat sheet under and then carry them outside. It can be quite a caper too as they can jump!
I don’t even try. I just send a “HELP!” Message 
It’s so funny when you;ve grown up with it and then realise that to others these things seem outrageus, meaning all our bugs and spiders and snakes etc in Aus
To be fair, many many people live in urban or suburban fortresses against such things. Many also live with them and deal it with it to varying degrees. I dont do this dry often but i did a quick search to see if i could find an example of what I’m talking about and it was instant! SERIOUS WARNING it;s not for the feint of heart if you have a spider phobia, I can barely watch it and I’ve done years of desensitising through exposure bit it’s
