Aneirin -> Snails (9/5/2008 5:54:38 AM)
|
Where I live, it was noted by one of the OAPs that I have an awful lot of snails around my kitchen window, like twenty six of them all positioned around my window frame. Thinking this kind of different, I checked out all the other window frames on the flats where I live, no one had snails around their window, only me. Now I checked the front window and same again, I was the only flat that had snails around my window. It can't be the light, because there are four flats facing the same direction both front and rear. Anyone any ideas why my flat seems to be a snail magnet ?
Fair enough, I do talk to them, try to avoid stepping on them and if I do crunch one, they get an apology before stamping them out. It is unfair to leave them to try and survive with a broken shell. I even let them munch the salt of my fingers, an unusual sensation, like a soft scraping, their mouth being underneath at the front.
Yes, there are loads of snails about, and slugs and they do seem to be acting strange this year, especially the slugs, behaviour I have not seen before, like two slugs curling up together and secreting a bubbly liquid between them.
