After a tiring day in the garden yesterday, I went upstairs to prepare

Eeek! Yuk! There was a slug slowly dehydrating within the folds of
aforementioned nightie :~((! Deeply disgusting .. shudder. I had no
idea that being a gardener would be so traumatic.

Now the real questions are (a) how did sluggie get there (are you in
the habit of gardening in your nightie?) and (b) did it lay eggs in
the underwear drawer before slithering into your nightie for some
warmth?

Urgling from Swansea Bay. Dave's at that
end; I'm at this end. Bill's in the middle.




And the real answers are a) sluggie clearly wasn't a sluggard (I have
never *ever* gardened in my nightie), as it must have either climbed the
stairs or entered the first floor window, and b) as far as I know it
didn't have sox and lay eggs in my undies .. before slithering anywhere.

The ugly truth is beginning to dawn on me .. I often give my slugs and
snails flying lessons before I turn in for the night. I usually propel
them toward the south-west, so this one must have banked steeply and set
a course for my bedroom window.
