If she'd ordered two sets, she'd have got two boxes.
Another one that's annoying and also baffling. The photo speaks for itself. I wondered what my wife had ordered when it arrived this afternoon. Courtesy of Amazon. Turns out it was a pair of knitting needles 41cm (16") long.

I ordered an extra large leaf rake ...
... came in an Amazon box.
Annual sight test this afternoon so had to wear my specs rather than contacts and being in a shop, had to wear a mask as well. Quite apart from the overcrowding over my ears (I wear hearing aids as well...), how do you keep your specs from steaming up?

The heat! Had very little sleep last night and working from home means that I really miss thwe aircon in the office.
At least I managed to dig out an extra fan!

Good job you're not in the office ...
... no aircon or fans allowed!
Office fans presumably send the virus droplets/aerosols further & faster .Good job you're not in the office ...

I WAS COUGHING TODAY ONCE I LEFT THE PUB AND SOME REALLY OLD COW HAD A RIGHT GO AT ME, AS i COUGHED AND HAD TO SPIT OUT.
Calleing me all the names going so I had to be polite and tell her to F*** off before I cough on her, stupid old women trying to make them selfs feel good how sad.
Presumably you had sense enough to cough into a handkerchief and spit the same way?I WAS COUGHING TODAY ONCE I LEFT THE PUB AND SOME REALLY OLD COW HAD A RIGHT GO AT ME, AS i COUGHED AND HAD TO SPIT OUT.

Don't be an idiot Dave
Same here....My wife was just about to put her gardening shoes on when she discovered a very large spider inside one. It was given the jam jar & card treatment and is now lodged somewhere in the flower bed outside. She is hoping it stays there ......Dunno if this actually annoyed me, more of an "Oh my Gosh!" really.
It's coming up to spider season here and yesterday whilst doing some housework I came across the biggest spider I've ever seen in the house, or in the wild or anywhere outside of a display case. It was massive.
I hate the things, the way they move and they're often fast. Anyway, I hope that's not a harbinger of things to come this spider season.
It’ll be back .Same here....My wife was just about to put her gardening shoes on when she discovered a very large spider inside one. It was given the jam jar & card treatment and is now lodged somewhere in the flower bed outside. She is hoping it stays there ......
Well it’s seasonal here and the house spider (Eratigena Africa) males are looking for mates and so more visible. I guess Thailand being tropical doesn’t have similar seasonality so the beasties stay wherever they are? The geckos will eat them no doubt but if there are are geckos everywhere there must be invertebrates everywhere too .Mrs WW is Thai and I'd have expected to see big spiders in Thailand (she lived in Chonburi which is a big city and also has a house in the country) but I don't think I've ever seen a single one there. She says they do have them but they're smaller than the ones shes seen in the UK, she says they maybe have big ones in the forests but not in their houses. She's been amazed by the ones she's seen here. They do have geckos which are everywhere and Googling tells me they're various eaters of spiders so maybe that's why they don't get them in their houses there. I think I'd rather have the Geckos.
Someone needs to keep out the pub I recon
Possibly a Giant House Spider, which seems to be a larger form of the house spider. There seems to be some debate about the taxonomy of these spiders, but it isn't very relevant here. Their fangs can apparently penetrate human skin, but they're not considered dangerous.
I like spiders, they're interesting, but we did have a couple of scares when my kids were young. They found a messy web under our garden table and started prodding the inhabitant with straws to 'encourage' him or her to come out and play...until my wife put a stop to the game. It was a brown button spider, and highly venomous.
I agree, they should ban all foul mouthed OAPs, don`t know what her problem was as I was outside and coughed into my hanky.
Yes, but what she called me turned the air blue, so I turned it bluer.
There's a few that can bite, but it's either a mistake, or the spider's only remaining option. Given the option they'll run away first.The official line seems to be that most if not every single native UK spider can't penetrate human skin...
Means you agree you should be banned?
As I posted elsewhere virtually non have fangs capable of penetrating the the human skin, they may "break in to it"There's a few that can bite,

That's all very well, but what about those star-links that are now floating about, the everyone seems to have forgotten about.it’s those 5G masts making the spiders bigger
There's the woodlouse spider; big teef on those guys. Also saw my dad bitten by a european garden spider while pruning a hedge and brushing against it's web. Left a lump like a big nettle sting.As I posted elsewhere virtually non have fangs capable of penetrating the the human skin
TBH I've never heard of that one, let alone seen one.woodlouse spider
A bit like foxes and hedge pigs then(Cellar spiders just turn them over and bite the wriggly bit.
