Snails

I was doing some gardening the whole day yesterday.

We rented out a house out to some very irresponsible people and now, 3 years later, we've kicked them out and the place is over grown with horrid green things and stuff.

So we had to take it all down.

Ended up having a couple of spiders run into my shirt while I was hacking my way through tall bushes and a whole family of wood lice rain into my head when I tore down some wall creeping weeds that had constructed a complex and very intricate network all the way up to the roof.

But the worst bit was when I stepped on two snails. I only registered it when I heard a sickening crunch and saw white bits flying up to knee level height. In my blind panic I stepped on the second one. I wish I had been wearing shoes.

Today I learned a valuable lesson. Nature is inherently evil. So when I grow up, I’m going to have a house with a backyard.

And then I’ll have it all concreted. Mmmm
