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

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.


Gardening in a nightdress could be a problem!

It would be a considerable problem since my nightie reaches my little
pink toes; and, before you mention it, I don't sleep in the flower
bed, either! ;~)


Do you have double glazing? If so, are the frames sealed properly?
Slugs can get into the house through the smallest of gaps. Horrible things.
