A friend of mine had a real fear of clowns, and a greater fear of those living statues you see on the continent. We were on holiday somewhere in Spain, and one regularly stood on the main street near our hotel. My friend simply could not pass her, so every night when we went out we would have to walk the other way, and it took us ages to get back to the main strip.
There is no reasoning with someone who has a phobia like this.
😂 I’m not that far gone, Syl. But the sight of a clown face instantly gives me goosebumps and a visceral ‘look-away-NOW!!’ reaction.
Add home-help humanoids to that. I can load my own dishwasher, thank you very much!

I think the only real fear I have is spiders. I know it makes no sense, but they make me feel physically sick. I have been known to exit a room and block under the door if one is in the room I am in and no one is at home.

I'm like that with flies. They don't live long in my house.

Horrible things, I will give them the chance to fly out, but if they don't, they are dead.
At the moment we are getting loads of tiny little flies in, trying to swat them is a job....nippy little buggers.
I bought a new flyswatt, well it was a packet of three, for a couple of quid, and it does the job withtout me looking like a Rambo wannabe.
Your OH is supposed to use the weapon to defend the castle and his queen..😉
He has the blue flyswatt....that will suffice.
He's an old school Knight..😉
He is a hero.
A couple of nights ago I saw, on the bedroom ceiling...a SPIDER...
He isn't struck on them himself, so catching them and putting them safely outside is never going to happen in our house. That would be my preferred method, but beggars can't be choosers.
Anyway, naked as a jaybird and armed with a paper roll, he climbed on the bed, stretching precariously and wobbling about (I could do with a firmer mattress, really). He caught the little blighter and put it to rest down the loo.
It's now Spider season here, a time of year I hate.

Just saw this I can almost picture the scene, but I’m trying not to
Anyway, take heart because there’s always someone much worse off…
