20 - Leftovers

While those involved in tomorrow’s ambitious Upstart Gala are busily making final arrangements, few people have noticed that today the Village Hall is hosting the annual conference of the  West Herefordshire Theraphosid Society. The blinds are drawn, and the heating is set to high. The delegates are now parading along the rows of black- topped tables and closely examining the prize tarantulas on display.  Alphonse Callooh (the transvestite taxidermist) has organised this years’s event. Luckily this doesn’t involve too much unpleasantness  since tarantulas produce negligible amounts of faeces, although when they have finished feeding they do leave small balls of indigestible leftovers which have to be removed from their tanks.
