Wasn't disappointed too.<br /><br />Wonderful. <br /><br />There seem to have been a lot of posts about spiders recently; at least on the blogs I read.<br /><br />You say you were a poor journalist. I don't know what qualities you need to be a journalist. One must be writing ability.<br /><br />Now you do have that.The Joined up Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797087157041713649noreply@blogger.com
