Golden day but for tiny spider

Today is one of those days when all seems right with my world.  I got to work early to finish off a big piece of work that I've been working on (hmmm...  I wouldn't think it's a good thing to have "work" or a derivative 3 times in one sentence, but I'll just let that one slip for now).  So I gave the completed piece of work to my boss and she loved it (ie, the work).  She sent it (the work) to the Chairman who also loved it.  My 3 months' probation ended today and I got an official welcome to work (there's that word again) so now I can get a mortgage (if I really want to???).

The rest of the day was pretty cruisy and I felt happy in my skin.  I got some emails from very special friends and left work at 4.30 so I could make it to Manly for my 6pm massage.  I know, I'm pretty damn spoilt.  And there was chocolate in the fridge for dessert after dinner.

The only bad thing I can think of today is that I accidentally killed a tiny tiny tiny spider when I was wiping the kitchen bench...  I have seen literally handfuls of tiny tiny tiny spiders over the last few days.  More than I've probably seen in my whole life.  I don't know if I have an uncanny ability to attract them at present, or if they've always been around and I've just never noticed them.  I saw at least four walking across my lap top on Friday afternoon in Bronte (the first two I put outside and then after than I figured maybe they wanted to be inside).  Then I saw one on my hand in the cafe in Potts Point on Saturday morning.  Then there was a couple on my car window.  Then when I was back in Fairlight on Sunday there was one running across my sheets as I was reading in bed (for those of you who don't like spiders, it was REALLY tiny, I mean, totally harmless, not irksome).  And one on the bathroom wall as I was washing the shower.  Then tonight, one on the kitchen bench.  I moved too quickly to wipe the bench, and didn't compute in time that the tiny black thing may have been a spider (in fact, after the last few days, probably WAS a spider) rather than a piece of dirt...  Sorry spidey...

Some shots from this afternoon:

Passing South and North Heads

I'm not sure what I think of that photo.  I like the zen simplicity, and the colour, but I'm wondering if it's a bit bland.  Anyway, I like to have it here as a record of the moment on the ferry when the ride gets a bit choppy as we pass the headlands and the ocean swell from the Tasman Sea enters the harbour.

And here's a boat silhouette in Manly Cove at sundown after my massage:

AND after finishing this post I had to come back and edit it because: as I was cleaning my teeth there were 2 tiny tiny tiny spiders in the basin!  I had to shepherd them out as I was spitting.  What is going on???
