Slugs and viruses!

I guess I should have known it was going to be one of those days when the best photo I took all day was of a slug! Not long after I took it, the heavens opened and it chucked it down for pretty much the rest of the day.

This evening, I was on line when my hotmail in-box suddenly went mental. Junk e-mails started pouring in and within the space of 20 minutes there were over 9000 of them. I've never had a reason to try to contact hotmail staff before and now that I did, found it impossible to get any contact details for them!

At this stage, I'm not sure if it's "just" a virus or if my account has been hacked but it's not looking good!
