I seem to have lost a snail...
« on: April 02, 2009, 02:18:30 PM »
I have just spen a plesant hour or so oiling snail shells, as you do, problem is there was one that I was particularly taken with, that seems to have, well, disspaeared, I collected them yesterday, other than escapee they are all present and correct, I assume from this that there was a 'Brian' in residence yesterday, I am now going on a snail hunt, the thought of finding a dessicated 'Brian' in the future does nothing for me, the thought of finding a thriving 'Brian' in the dank dark recesses of the understairs cupboard does even less for me.  evil:

Don't get too upset, it doesnt matter what Nick puts in the microwave it normally ends up exploding/incinerated.  whistle:

So what is the intention with this macro stuff then? Are we likely to see piccies of snails smiling and winking at each in gay abandon?
