Later, she found the sloughed skin and brought it in which gave me a
bit of a start when I found it on the window sill in the back
corridor!

I was wandering along a path in Portugal when I cam across the
crumpled skin of an adder-type snake lying across the path (black
diamonds along the whole length). 'Husband would like that' I
thought, then some cautious instinct kicked in, and I reached out
very carefully with the toe of my boot and touched the tip of the
tail, whereupon the 'skin' headed into the undergrowth at a rate of
knots!

ackkkkkkkkkkkk


Well, at least it went *that* way - I tried to get a photo, but it was
too quick for me.
