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.

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 :~/


No, what I meant is that they will get through at ground level if the door
frames, for example are not sealed. Not through open windows!


Right. Understood. I th-th-think the ssssseals are okay ... reaches
for the metaldehyde.
