Your bellicose gastropod is only marginally larger than our Giant African Land Snail, Hedgers. It died some years ago, but not until it had grown to a truly magnificent size. The vivarium was initially in the dining room, but people were fainting all over the place, then in DS’ bedroom but he was kept awake by the rasp of radulae on cuttlefish. So, Slima lived out its days in the spare bedroom and we were really quite upset when it passed. RIP, Slima.
It has been 12°C here, today. Ruddy horrible.

All seems to be as ready as it needs to be for the Edinburgh Crew and That Poodle.
Early start, so off to bed, for me.
Good nights, Cellarites,

Wot nobody ready for bacon butties?
I love the Thelwell ponies trying to look innocent
In my experience of equines Shetland ponies are bad tempered vicious wee beasts
Perfect for parents who want revenge on their darling brats for the hell said brats put parents through

Today I fetch Sudden Daughter from a railway station about twenty-five miles away and bring her here to repack all her belongings one last time, then take her and them to Heathrow to catch the flight to her nine-month posting in Africa.
This may be a little melancholy, but I shall try not to let her know this.

I’m told the official description is “one end bites, the other kicks and the middle’s uncomfortable to sit on”.

Not all hosses bite and kick
Shetland brutes make up for nice gentle horsies

It was specifically the Shetland that was so described, as I recall. I have no personal experience of equines (apart from once being reproached by a mare for not being sufficiently effusive about her colt).

What form did this ‘reproach’ take?

Was on way to a gig when my then partner-in-crime stopped off at his mother’s - they were into racing in a big way and a mare they owned had just foaled, so of course Andy want to take a look. So there was Andy, his mother, an equally horse-obsessed friend and me. I was the only one not known to the hoss in question, so I thought it best to stay out of the way rather than distress them. Lots of admiring comments from those knowledgeable about horsey things while I naturally kept me trap shut. Next thing, the mare starts whinnying and tossing her mane, all the while giving me - quite definitely me - a Look. She calmed down once I’d presented myself and made sufficiently admiring noises.

Incidentally, we could drink to the fact that mail for her has to be addressed to Major Sudden Daughter, not Captain Sudden Daughter this time.
