There are no flies, unless he has his own dead mouse up there. Spiders are so smart, I wouldn't be surprised.<br />Never heard of the series but now will be on the look out- who could resist sentences like that!

That's how I knew of Mapp & Lucia -- my friend Christopher used to talk about the tv show all the time. I've never seen it, but when I saw the book I knew to grab it. You must have the whole series! As for Pat, I think I read that these spiders live for two years, though where they go during the winter is a mystery to me.<br /><br />Ms. Moon: "Lovely" is what Mapp and Lucia would call it, I'm sure. :) As I mentioned above, I think the spider might hang around this winter, but I'm not sure.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-49146076682090216302012-10-02T13:16:21.863+01:002012-10-02T13:16:21.863+01:00Oh my!

Your spider.....Oh my! Sounds like a lovely series! <br />Your spider...well, she has probably laid her eggs and gone on to the great Spider Heaven. I think they only live for the one season. I could be wrong.<br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-24427757303984178392012-10-02T12:29:03.520+01:002012-10-02T12:29:03.520+01:00On second thought, I am pretty certain that I read...On second thought, I am pretty certain that I read Mapp & Lucia first as a stand alone book and liked it so much I got the collection. ;)Lynnehttp://www.rickandlynne.com/lynnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-3606444526807156482012-10-02T12:24:36.662+01:002012-10-02T12:24:36.662+01:00Oh! How funny you should mention Mapp & Lucia...Oh! How funny you should mention Mapp & Lucia. Your post sent me flying over to my bookcase! I love Lucia! I have a huge book that contains "Make Way for Lucia" which I never did get all the way through.<br /><br />I think I got started by seeing a PBS series <i>years</i> ago and went looking for the books.<br /><br />Make Way for Lucia contains: Queen Lucia, Lucia in London, Miss Mapp, The Male Impersonator, Mapp and Lucia, The Worshipful Lucia and Trouble for Lucia. My bookmark shows I made it right up to Mapp & Lucia.<br /><br />I need to read them again. I'm so glad you reminded me. Looks like most of the them are available on Amazon (at least Amazon stateside).<br /><br />Maybe Pat's life cycle has been spent. It's better not to know what happened to him if he doesn't show back up. Remember Charlotte's demise?Lynnehttp://www.rickandlynne.com/lynnenoreply@blogger.com
