* keyboard practice
* spent most of the morning, on and off, watching our spider weaving an egg case and laying eggs. I found a factsheet on huntsman spiders at the Australian Museum Online site (also another couple of webpages about spiders in general), and we read about mating/reproduction etc. Apparently we won’t need to banish her and her brood outside immediately since when they hatch they will be too small to disperse until they’ve shed their skins a couple of times…
* wrote (reluctantly) a sentence in her new nature journal about the spider’s exertions
* other stuff wot I forget
* Scouts 7:00-8:30; stayed at Dennis and Margaret’s overnight
