After a tiring day in the garden yesterday, I went upstairs to
prepare for bed. I pulled my (pretty pink 'Victorian') nightdress
from under my pillow and was about to put it on ...

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.

Yes, we do and yes they are, although we do open the window to air the
room. I shall have to stand on guard duty now :~/
