I am feeling like this little spider at the moment.  I hate it in the morning when I wake up to go to work and one very hardworking little creature has practically sealed me in.  She’s worked so hard to create a beautiful web, only to discover in the morning that she’s built it in the wrong place and in order for anyone to actually get out of the house it has to be destroyed.  All that time and effort for what?  Then the mess beyond that somehow symbolises my plans for the year.  They’ve all had to be thrown away.

Oh well, in those inimitable words “if at first you don’t succeed, then try, try again” although I’m not sure that’s right is it?  Better to say “if at first you don’t succeed then clearly you are not very good at it so move on and try something else”.

Or perhaps that’s a little defeatist.
