New Friends (light hearted)

So, I'm one week into a 12 week self isolation and I've made two new friends! One is a woodlouse that creeps around my bathroom and sits on a towel, the other is a spider that has taken up residence in the window.

I have a terrible phobia of spiders but have started having a conversation with with 8 legged beast every day whilst sticking to the 2m personal distance rule.

I also chat to Mr Woodlouse but he just stops what he's doing and glares at me if I use more than two sheets of toilet paper.

Another wonderful example of communities pulling together...or I could, of course, be losing the plot completely...

Mr Woodlouse has a name. Is the spider called Mr SpiderGrin?

Good point people!! I like the idea of Sharon for the 8 legged beast but it sounds too nice for something so scary. Any other ideas?? No! Wait! I've got it! Beelzebug! (See what I did there?) Other suggestions welcomed!

Mr Woodlouse is so judgemental that he has to be called by his title! So that's him sorted!

I predict by the end of the 12 weeks spider will become dspider and your phobia will be no more

Mr woodlouse’s behaviour will deteriorate and we will all be telling you to ltb
