Unexpected Discoveries
I woke up this morning and found a snail in my room. Just underneath the windowsill. I have absolutely no idea what possessed him to climb this far, let alone why he then chose to seek solace in the shelter of my room.

Just thought I'd share that with you. Have you discovered anything peculiar this morning?

Alt Q: If I were to eat him, what should I serve him with?

clearly the snail was watching you sleep...
poach the snail gently for 30minutes/kilo (so about 8 seconds?) then remove from shell with a pin.
gently fry some crushed garlic, when golden but not crispy add some breadcrumbs and fry for a few more minutes tossing occasionaly.
add chopped parsley and a wee squeeze of lemon juice.
add the snail and allow to warn through.
serve on the tiniest slice of toast ever, so the snail doesn't get agorophobic.

Nothing more peculiar than the sinking feeling of being awake later than you should be.
Don't eat the snail. What has he ever done to you?

How was last night?

Morning
although I woke early from my self imposed exile, my peculiar discovery was that the hurry through the streets in short black dress, attracts Islamic educationists like nothing else

I mowed the lawn today
I found a baby toad, a field mouse and eleventy billion snails. Some of the snails are a bit worse for wear now and look pretty battered. I won't be eating them.

I went punting
And saw a man on another punt going past us who looked exactly like smug croissant man (sans croissant).
