Started a new one.

Need to adhere to guidelines this time though.

Slug in the dishwasher is traumatic

Don’t have the hand control to make cocktails - have g&t and a bowl of olives (that’ll settle my stomach)!

Listening to rage against the machine for rioting motivation.

torydeathdrug · 27/06/2020 17:46

Meh ... wankers ... classic journo use of ‘could’ ... they are just as culpable as politicians.

HesterShaw1 · 27/06/2020 17:47

I once trod on a slug in the garden in bare feet and screamed loudly. People from 3 doors down came rushing round to see who was being killed. I had to tell them I had simply trodden on a mollusc Blush

Nihiloxica · 27/06/2020 17:48

OMG

Why are we still talking about slugs? 🙈😭

BarkandCheese · 27/06/2020 17:49

I think I might have a slug living under my freezer. In the mornings I keep finding slug trails on the floor in front of it.

torydeathdrug · 27/06/2020 17:50

Anyway they’re wrong aren’t they - it was 100 in all locations I thought? 80 or so in hospitals? Never let facts get in the way of a story.

Afternoon all!

I'm disgustingly chipper this afternoon Grin

Reasons: Had karate class this morning. Indoors. 9 of us, all exaggeratedly keeping the 2m distance, bifold doors open on two sides so fresh air. Basically a select group of anti dementors doing what we enjoy in admittedly slightly not-allowed circumstances.

Then DP was over for a bit and he is gloriously and unashamedly anti-d.

AND I had a good night's sleep last night.

I am now (for the moment) feeling positively optimistic about all the shit.

Long may the feeling last.

Slug in the dishwasher? Amateur!!!

Reader, a slug once climbed into my washing machine and fried the circuit boards. Fried itself too the little bastard but not before taking out two fuses.
It is apparently an occupational hazard in Cornwall hoik

One glass of wine down and it's looking that this literary Happy Ever After of mine might actually happen.
Get in!!!!

BlackBerry I’m cowering in my bunker
( in bed at the caravan)
Just a stones throw from you
I hope you’ve set off for home
This is the view from my bedroom window and what I drove down in
We should’ve swerved right to Northallerton BlackBerry but I didn’t fancy the flooding on the Northallerton road.

Good old mr Dowser has just stuck his head round the door and asked I’d id like a cup of tea
Yes with a large Valium

I decided against pulling in on the A19 side of the road parking places...too dangerous
So I ploughed on till I found an off road one

Am I bothered about Covid..am I fuck.
This was far more scary
Poor mr Dowser was scared too as he knew if he couldn’t see through the windscreen, then I couldn’t either.
I couldn’t, especially when the hail came.
Going to have our food , pick a break and then hoof it home

I was trying to encourage visitors to leave my veg path alone the other night and it brought to mind the classic Shaun Hutson book; Slugs. You may not enjoy it.

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 27/06/2020 17:59

dowser can you really not just stay the night?

LadyOfTheImprovisedBath · 27/06/2020 18:00

In our last house we used to get slugs in part of the living room - think there was likely an air brick under the wooden floor. Number of times one of us stood on a slug bare foot.

We've ended up going nowhere today - cooking and deliveries and hobbies and kids sat in fornt of their seperate screens - some work and mostly sims playing.

I think we're going to have to watch this as the daily walk have slowly stopped again and at weekend we've not gone out from the house.

I wonder if parents in wales are like us focused on getting them back in school next week - and seeing how that goes - and worrying about summer holidays.

Dowser · 27/06/2020 18:00

Re slugs
Since we lifted the lounge carpet about three years ago and laid laminate, the little fuckers aren’t so keen to squeeze under the French doors.
You’d get up on a morning and see their icky trails all over The carpet
Gross

countrygirl99 · 27/06/2020 18:03

torydeathdrug with all that talk of hangovers when you said the 7 day rolling average of cases was 1000 I thought no wonder she has a hangover. Then I realised you weren't talking about wine🥂

Dowser · 27/06/2020 18:03

Viral
Yes, we probably could at a pinch
Our site owner is pretty good...and we are pretty much all set but for some obscure reason, I want to go home.
Not me..I hope lockdown hasn’t altered the way I see things.

The storm has passed for now and there’s a bit of blue sky

[quote Willitneverend]Glass of wine then riot at 6.30pm?[/quote]
Start without me, but I'll be there at around 7pm if that's ok? I'm due a takeaway delivery in about 15 minutes and rioting straight after a curry gives me heartburn.

Cattermole · 27/06/2020 18:05

oooo @InsaneInTheViralMembrane that joyful scene where the dirty old man with one leg is watching his neighbours get it on, and the slugs come out of the toilet whilst he's having a tommy tank and eat him apart from the artificial leg?

Willitneverend · 27/06/2020 18:05

I'm having some slightly woody prosecco. Do we need a list of demands to riot or is it more just incoherent anger? If there's looting then I'd like nicer prosecco.

torydeathdrug · 27/06/2020 18:06

@countrygirl99 🤣

torydeathdrug · 27/06/2020 18:07

I’m definitely angry & incoherent!

KaronAVyrus · 27/06/2020 18:12

Sorry can’t riot tonight - I’m already in my PJs.

HesterShaw1 · 27/06/2020 18:18

I fucking hate slugs. They ruin everything I try and plant.

Is it something about Cornwall Cattermole. My garden is literally the sluggiest place I have ever seen.

FrugiFan · 27/06/2020 18:18

I'm looking forward to July. We currently have actual plans in the diary which dont revolve around socially distanced BBQs or walks 😲

Husband is taking DD age 3 to Peppa Pig World on the 4th. I would go too but my annual pass lapsed and I didn't want to pay in case social distancing meant it was rubbish
We have a weekend camping booked mid July. And we are going to Chessington at the end of the month. This will coincide with school hols but hoping that the limited numbers will mean its not too busy 🤞 and if it is we will spend our time in the zoo bit instead
