An unusual day for me. Why so I hear you ask, well I would
if you asked it. So why was it usual for me. Ill tell you. I spent the day by
myself ‘cos The Man went to work today. Got up at 0450 and had a coffee with
him before he left to get the night bus into he city. No trains running from
our station at that time of the morning. Back to bed to read and then snooze
for a while. It is a pity that he had to go to work ‘cos it has been a nice
sunny day. A bit windy, but not cold.
I checked up on the family via Facebook and saw a picture
and a comment that someone had posted about slugs coming inside. It so reminded
me of the huge critters that used to invade the kitchen of daughter number two.
Well I say huge, by sluggy standards I think they were. Must have been all of
five centimetres. Then The Man and I move
house and wouldn’t you know it there on the kitchen floor in the mornings were
the silvery slimy trails of the very same critters. I have to admit I didn’t think
too much about it until one night when I went into the kitchen and before I could
turn on the light I felt a very nasty cold slimy squishy sensation under my
toes. Yerk! You guessed it I had trodden on one. Pretty soon after that we
tracked the trails back to a small gap in the floor behind the cooker which The
Man plugged up and not more snails.
Have you ever thought about the way some things change into
other things all by themselves. Well I did this morning. As I said I had a
coffee with The Man before he left for work. When I got up later I prepared and
ate a bowl of muesli, and afterwards put the jug on for a coffee. When I poured
the milk in it curdled. Funny that I thought, because it didn’t do that
earlier. Repeat the process and same result. Hmm. Smells Ok. And obviously tasted
OK too. So I forewent the coffee. Forgetful me I left the milk bottle on the bench, and when I realised this
an hour or so later I went to put it back in the fridge but …hello something
had happened to it, it was all gluggy and was defiantly not going into the fridge,
but down the loo. And the use by date on
the bottle? Well that was tomorrow.
had to think for a minute about the slugs. I never had slugs in my kitchen??? But then i remembered we did, but in the lodge kitchen, not my own hehe. I tried salt on one one day and its true, they dont like salt.
