the slab

When I got back from popping to a shop, half an hour later, this was nuzzling the petal next to the wall. I still wonder what happened to the snail from Saturday, which was just reaching the end of a raspberry cane when we left. It might have been able to lower itself to the ground in one of those slime-harnesses, but probably had to turn around and crawl all the way down if it didn't overshoot the end, overbalance and fall to the ground.
