 I spotted this spider sitting on the wall on Friday morning.
Today I found that it had moved to the door frame.
It is quite large - it's legs are probably about 7 to 8cm long
I searched the Internet to try and identify it, but could not find anything
that had such a big head and long slim abdomen.

Unfortunately the light was not too good and the flash caused a white blowout.
I managed to crop out a closeup of it's rather sad looking 'face' 
Strange protrusions are situated just below the lower set of eyes.
This photo clearly shows the Pedipalps that are used to grab and hold it's prey
