Ari is back
Photo by Tigger
It was Tigger, when she came home just now, who spotted Ari in her familiar corner. I’m ashamed to say I had not thought to look. There she is, though, in her usual “Pilates” pose.
Where has she been for the last few days? She’s not saying, of course. Perhaps she popped out to look for lunch.
Tigger took this photo with flash and you can perhaps see what looks like a bright spot: that’s Ari’s eye reflecting the flash!
If you wonder why the ceiling is so stained, that’s the result of the flooding to which our upstairs neighbour treated us just before Christmas. (See Water from the ceiling, again.)
I don’t suppose Ari minds that, though, and, fortunately, neither do we, at least not too much. This place is already so full of “character” that a little more hardly matters!
I’m not an expert, but I recall reading that spiders gather near sources of water in order to find a mate. If Ari has not spun a web near where you see hir (I think that’s the correct gender free term), one possibility is that s/he visits your space because it’s still damp from your upstairs neighbour’s activities, and actually lives/spins somewhere else…

It’s as likely a theory as any other. Perhaps we’ll see her somewhere else and that will provide a clue.
