Things

can only get better today. One hopes.

I reminded myself why it is I tell the kids not to go outside with bare feet.

There I was, putting out the washing bare foot. I stepped backwards and felt something particularly unpleasant underfoot. The unpleasant thing looked like this....



....only it was BIGGER.

Oh my god, that is rank!

It happened to me once, so you have my heartfelt sympathy. I felt upset and revolted for quite some time afterwards, no matter how many times I washed my feet

I once bet my nephews that I would lick a slug for 20 krone but we ended up arguing about whether I meant Norwegian or Danish Krone so I didn't have to do it!!

Stay away. It will kill you and all your family given half the chance.

Dandelion, we could set up a support group!

Gill, phew!

Cookie - it has apparently been a bumper year for slugs, so I wouldn't relax if I were you.

Alan, I will take your advice. I could tell it was a vicious and ruthless bastard.

Pixie - NO purpose other than as a component of little boys, alongside snails and puppy dog tails.
