In voyeuristic fashion I just witnessed for the first time two slugs making love on the patio wall. It was an intriguing combination, they wrapped themselves in a coil and when things reached a grand finale one of them dropped a gray bubble of spit out of its arse (or maybe it was its head, but it's difficult to tell). Also in the garden tonight are millions of spiders webs and I keep on forgetting and walk straight into them and then everything gets all over your head, the web, the spider and all that was trapped and about to be eaten. Also the neighbour's crap apples from the crap apple tree which has grown through and smashed down our fence and showered the lawn with inedible mess. And then their are the two new lodgers, the Romanian brothers who speak no English but smile at me benignly and are to be found at all times chain smoking outside, maybe they get off on slug watching.

Must be a thing about Romanians and gardens. The 17 who moved into the house across the road a few months back spend all their time out the front. Shouting mostly.

I parked up near Cross Flats for the game a few months ago and in those terraced streets there are loads of newly built wooden gazebo things in the yards. Think there is an outdoor cooking thing going off in Eastern European culture. That and the chain smoking and shouting I guess.

Slugs are right tricky gets. Once covered one in lighter fluid & torched it. It just laughed at me and slid out of its bbq'ed skin. Have you ever tried snipping their eyes off with scissors? You need to be really fucking quick. Recently fed a wasp to the spider in my kitchen window, no contest. Spider had it wrapped and ready to eat in less than a second. Spiders are shit at graffiti however, the legs get in the way.

And cat shit, loads and loads of cat shit. Just got some on the soles of the new new shoes and a bit on my hands. Washed the hands and left the shoes to dry out with the spiders outside. Posted a note on the door telling the cats they are no longer welcome either inside or out and shall ask the Romanian brothers big brother to man the doors

If you put salt on slugs it dries them up, quite entertaining in a sick sort of way. I have heard that bicarbonate of soda given to a seagull will make them explode, never tried it, but not against the idea.

Jon Our place in Murcia used to be a bit like that albeit more wild. Wild boar, mouflon and a range of creatures used to wander past our window.

Jon they're taking liberties on your manor.
Jon
Placid Get a cat or a Jack Russell.

Jon You need a Jack for rats.
Jon
space A cat would keep them out of the house.
Kerry Blue would be the best.
Djpekingman
Unlikely to be a rat. They prefer the warmth afforded by your house.
Jon
Djpekingman Gets me how hunters think this shit is hard. I could hold out a carrot and be grappling with one one of these fuckers any time I choose.
