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.

I reckon you must have had a slug on you when you went to bed the night
before and that is how got into your nighty. Of course it means you
slept with it all night. Sweet dreams. :-)

OR - this is getting a bit A Christie - it was a clean nightdress. The
slug got into the washing basket, was dehydrated when ironed and simply
folded up and put away clean!

OR, it was RG, using the sugar tongs, in the bathroom, after the
argument about what to watch on TV in the sitting room.


Hearty chuckle! :~)) No. RG is always glad to let me watch "that
rubbish" :~}!


OR the slug was a ballet dancer named Hercule that did a Poirotette
into the nightie while drunk from the next door neighbours' beer trap.


Surely not. Beer isn't good for ze little grey cells.


Nah, then, Ms Rutherford, 'ow did t'slug get into t'washing basket? Or
are you suggesting that Spider is extremely slow in getting the
washing off the line, giving the slug plenty of time to mosey into the
basket while it's on the lawn being filled?


Couldn't 'ave been that, Officer. Spider mowed the lawn first and
minced all the sluggies up, good'n'proper.


But the mystery deepens yet more! Madam Spider keeps her CLEAN stuff
under the pillow!


Well, I would hardly keep DIRTY linen under the pillow, young man! The
very idea!


Cheers, Jake
