This is a Noble False Widow or Steatoda nobilis set up camp on my cupboard and has been there since I noticed it last week. It retreats in to the joystick when disturbed and spends most of the night on the web. This is a typical place for a False Widow to set up home as it has a cavity it can escape to and a way to set up a mesh of a web. Known for having a skull on its back but it's more like a creamy brown splodge as you can just make out on the close up image.

Same. The last apartment I lived in I used to get spiders setting up shop in the window sills and I'd just leave them be since they never moved and were eating all the flies that came in through the dilapidated, hole-ridden screen that my landlord refused to replace.
The day I find one in bed with me it's smash-time though...
The more insects I've spotted in my house lately the more tolerant I am of spiders. In my garage I tend to leave them alone until the webs take over an entire corner and I start seeing egg sacs.
You know those long barreled kitchen lighters for lighting the gas cooker ?
They're useful and don't melt plastic unless you hold it in one place for too long...
For some reason - this comes to mind:

Well, I think our cat likes spiders. Not to eat or chase. But when she is eating her food and if a tiny spider comes near her dish she just gets out of its way. And she had another spider over her litter box. Yeah, our cat is odd. She is no hunter. But you would think she would define the food dish. But our cat seems to like spiders for some reason??
My daughter gave me a big framed picture of her and her fiance. I noticed after awhile that there was a teeny tiny spider wandering around under the glass, on the mat not the picture. However he got in there, he couldn't find his way out, He's still sitting there...
Spiders do nothing to enhance an already terrible plot.
Probably scratching his head working out his next move
I used to get tiny little bugs on the inside of my computer monitor and would become hypnotised watching them wandering around.I was mopping out the cloakroom when I noticed something fall off the mop and keep moving which was the size of a speck of dirt and turned out to be a spider known as a 'Money Spider' because it's meant to bring you luck if you see one and put it to safety. I have no idea how it survived being mopped but I picked it up the plucky little fella and transferred it to another quieter cupboard where it quickly made itself at home seemingly oblivious to how close it had just come to being churned up by a bleach soaked mop. Something deeply humbling helping out another creature great or small.
We get some St Andrew's Cross Spiders outside. They're cool to look at. I try not to bother them because they eat mosquitos.
