Slugs and snails, no puppy dog tails

All summer I wondered at the lack of snails, compared to the hordes we had last year. This night it didn't rain, it poured. It was quite warm and very humid. And every snail in the world turned up.

Any snail I ever find goes on holiday. By air. As far as I can hurl it into the neighbouring field. This night I stopped counting when I got to a hundred. A hundred!!!

Norwestie update

Thanks to the kind blipper pals who sent her their best wishes after yesterday. She's back from the veterinary hospital, though very weak, having had lots of infusions. She can stand on all four legs if she keeps still and concentrates, but we hope she's on the mend. See extra.
