I had a dermatology appointment this morning, less said about that the better, and Mac dropped me off and went to do some grocery shopping for me. But as always when I have an appointment where I don't really want to go he brought me back a surprise, a snail and even better he had a dark chocolate bar stuck in him. He's actually a watering can but he's much to cool for that, he will live in front of the fireplace next to Mac's turtle.I love snails, well actually that's not true, in fact I'm terrified of snails, I think if I touched one I'd pass out, they are gross beyond words. But a number a years ago I started collecting nonliving snails made out of everything: alabaster, wood, porcelain, glass, clay, you name it. I don't know if I was trying to desensitize myself or what. Of course it hasn't worked, I'm still afraid of snails, but I do love my nonorganic snails and this one will make a great addition to my collection.
I rather like snails, they have friendly little faces - this is not the gardener speaking of course! Slugs are very much less appealing but neither bother me and I can pick them up. Show me a spider on the other hand and I'm a total quivering wreck!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind spiders, don't like their webs, too sticky.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute and yes, you are spoiled!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. My post must have given you rather a nasty fright. Thanks for visiting though!
