Weekend Fly

[EHM]

Hi Flyfriends
I've been out for a japanese meal with my sister dranka bottle of wine & 4 champagne cocktailes..............lucs ver ruk

BIH WAVES

gibberish for your friend.
go Hope the snails are happy to be free. Book sounds lovely.
Hi HN. Poor DD. Guess she is used to them not being there in the daytime when they are at school. She will be pleased to see them when they get home.

Thanks tort. He's been ill a long time - cancer - but they had originally been told he had about 2 years. So obviously it's been a big big shock for them to find out he only has a few weeks. I've never met him, but am doing the portrait from a photo - it's for their anniversary.

grouchyoscar had to smile at the 'freeing' ceremony and the red grape juice. Aaw, you can always rear some more though.. you could start your own snail sanctuary! I think I have one in my back garden There are billions of them out there...

There'll be loads in my garden soon enough gibberish the ammount of eggs they laid. They must have had nothing else to do in their house! Sorry to hear about your friend's dad btw.

Dunno what happened there Jas

I'll miss Ed's shelly pets. I enjoyed having them as much as he did tbh. They were good fun and were quite animate for snails

TTFN

Hello

Hi HN glad they are all having a fun break. Dd will be pleased to see them I bet, when they get back.

gibberish our run is a makeshift one...dh made it out of the fireguard!! (am hoping by the time the weather turns cold enough to light a fire the kids will have realised...I suspect we'll have to get another one though ) My DD1 takes the most interest in them, but I think they are very cute too

GO Awwwwww what a brilliant way to say goodbye! The book sounds fab! Little Ed will grow up knowing how to be nice to even the smallest of creatures (the little boy across the road could learn a lesson or two from him...he is a snail stamper and my ds often comes home deeply concerened that this little boy has squashed this..or that I caught him trying to drown a moth in an upside down frizbee the other day... fear not though... I rescued the moth...and then asked the boy how he'd like it. He ran off quite perplexed looking
You'll have to get some more!

Well I am off to bed.... Dh has just woken me as I had fallen asleep on the bean bag...waiting for DD2 to go to sleep! I'm now a bit stiff and have a cold back!

Night all xx

Luda I had to LOL @ snail stamper! One minute my Dd1 loves snails the next minute shes stomping on them.

Eeeeew it sounds awful...I was getting something out the car and he walked past and spotted one....next thing I heard was a god awful crunch. My DD1 collects snails and puts them in a bucket...with grass in it...but by the morning they have usually scarpered!
DS is fascinated by them but he won't pick them up...he'd never squash one...he's too squeemish!

(the noise of a snail being squashed sounds awful I mean Lol!

oooooh and I tell you what....there are squillions of slugs this year. I flicked the garden light on the other night to give the guinea's an apple before I went to bed and my god! they were everywhere! They must all come out at night. I had trouble navigating round them all!

Not many slugs here but millions and millions of snails. I do NOT exaggerate. Honestly.

Also moths. My house is infected with them. I loathe the blighters.

I had a bit of an incident with a slug yesterday!
i was clearing the front garden of toys/sandpit to put the tent up.

Hugslugs under the sandpit soi scooped on up to chuck in the hedge only i flug it too hard.

It went flying Over the hedge onto a passing car .

Erm thats HUGE slugs not hugslugs

I bet if you took a torch and had a nose round outside you'd soon find the slugs. All different sizes and colours...they are actually quite interesting!

Loads of typos there!!

lol@ hugslug! ewww could you imagine!

lol at flying hugslugs Now that's a name that could have been used in one of the Harry Potter books...

luda slugs give me the shivers. All slimy and no arms or legs... I remember the huge black ones my mum used to have in her garden

we get a fair few moths to gibberish We have found some lovely ones this year. We've had Elephant Hawk moths....

here

They are really quite pretty things. The trouble is the cat gets them!

ROFL !

All slimy and no arms or legs

I wouldn't mind those ones - as long as they are outside.

We have been infested with them in the house - they have eaten two carpets and we just can't get rid of them. We have ripped up most of the carpets in an effort to get shot of them. Driving me daft.

lol. Not sure if being slimy and having arms and legs would be much different to be honest...

by the way I meant we are infected with moths which are eating the carpets. Don't think slugs are partial to carpets... although I do remember my grandad, who lived in an exceptionally damp old cottage, who had silver trails across the carpet from his resident snails.

ooooh I don't fancy the sound of them....what do they look like??

(the moths that is)

hmmm our old next door neighbour had shiny trails across her kitchen...I share in the !

I found slime trails in my bathroom.
Does anyone else get a lot of woodlice or silver fish? i have loads of silverfish at night in downstairs bathroom.

They are little boring brown critters. They don't look very attractive splattered across my wallpaper.

What are silver fish??

Images of little shiny fish flapping around with heaving gills on the floor in tort's bathroom...
