User's notes

Dusky brown with distinctive black mark on abdomen. Body was under 2cm long, but if legs spread out would comfortably been able to hold the outer edge of a 50c piece. Thankfully slow moving. Gently ushered it off my clothes drying rack, where it had been hiding under a tea towel, into a plastic container for relocating outside. May be a ghost spider.
