I am glad I live in NZ and not Australia.

Yesterday I went to work as usual.

About halfway through the day I felt something move in my shoe.

I assumed a rock had probably got inside it.

I took my shoe off to shake the “rock” out.

Out pops an Avondale Spider. Nice and black and about and inch and a half in size.

Fun! I’m glad there were no girls around.
