Please note this photos was taken from as close a distance as I was comfortable, which was a good 2m or so away from the jerry can. Now, if you have read previous blogs, I have a crazy and ridiculous fear of grasshoppers, crickets, locusts and anything along those lines. I am perfectly fine with jumping spiders, frogs and kangaroos. I list those 3 specifically, because they are the most common creatures people ask if I am also afraid of, when I tell them the reason for my fear is that crickets jump. So today became interesting when this little monster decided to hitch a ride back to the depot with us. I filled the jerry cans while my leading hand went to empty the ute. After I filled the jerrys, he made himself apparent (which is fortunate, as if he had shown himself before then they would still be empty, or on fire). So I calmly took myself to the other side of the petrol bowsers and waited for the ute to return. My leading hand looked at me funny when I wouldnt go near the jerry cans, then started laughing hysterically when she spotted the little monster, which had moved up to the handle by then and Ive spent the better part of the afternoon hearing about how much of a wuss I am. As I didnt have to move the little beast or be attacked by it, Im perfectly fine with my wuss status.
