I am pretty sure there is not much I can do to get rid of the spiders because its in a woodsy area. I suffer from mild arachnophobia and feel the need to squash the spiders periodically. It generally takes me a long time, but I cannot get into the shower unless I’ve squashed each and everyone that I can see. I know the spiders are everywhere and they are generally harmless, but they really bother me in the shower.
The studio is attached to a house. Paul and Claire, true kiwis, own the house. They have two sons – Felix is about 2, the other son is about 7. So far, they are very friendly and I’m getting along with them well. Paul commutes to the city (Auckland) and works for the University of Auckland. They use part of their house as a bed and breakfast during the peak summer season (October – April) called Hauraki B&B . Claire runs the bed and breakfast part and works 2 days helping out somewhere else on the island. They are friendly kiwis and help to propagate the ideas that kiwis are green and eco-friendly. (Waiheke has a bit of a hippie reputation anyway.) They recycle, compost, buy organic foods…. It’s very interesting to hear what they have to say about America and Americans.
