More horti-porn, I'm afraid.This beautiful, spikey frothiness of a plant is currently flowering chez nous - it's called Bergamot or Monarda. You know the nice smelly stuff they chuck into Earl Grey tea? Goes well with courgettes too, I'm told.
My brain is currently sun-fried. We went on a long walk. Despite being larded up with factor 400, we are all slightly cooked. So, I won't attempt to write anything...it will only be drivel.
Yeah...I know...quoi neuf?
But, check out this pic I took today. On our walk, Spouse spotted this strange sight.
Yes, it is what you're thinking. The snail shagathon continues. Actually, being totally ignorant of all matters snail, I don't really feel confident that they are shagging. Perhaps I'm judging these poor innocent creatures by my own shockingly poor standards. Maybe I'm jumping to rather sordid conclusions too quickly.For a start, don't you think they all look a bit young? Do you get sexually precocious snails? Maybe it's a snail scout meeting, or a young conservative snail conference, or a juvenile snail stick clinging contest. What do you think? What exactly are they up to?

Perhaps they're trying to break the "amount of snails to be found on two big sticky uppy things" record Mya? Either that or you've stumbled onto a snail orgy of epic proportions.....if you see smoke at any point it must be their post coital ciggie.....
NMO x
What exactly are they up to?
Well Mya... when a mummy snail and a daddy snail love each other very much...
G'day from Australia. Came here from Maggie May.
Wow, now i thought you just had a bit of a one track mind about the snails. I imagined perhaps 5 at the most doing it. NOW i see why you were so intrigued!!
eeeeewwwwww!

Vile, Mya. Truly vile. I was already feeling sick, and now more snail porn. You should make this site pay per view.
Have you sent this to David Attenborough? Either that or one of the newsagent top shelf publications, not sure which...
Are they smiling?
Shagging. Definitely shagging.
all I can say is I hope they aren't laying eggs on that thing because soon you will be overtaken by a wave of snail larvae. ewwwwwww.
oh and by the way, stop by my place when you have a chance. there's a little something waiting for you.
I'm truly not sure about the snail porn thing. I mean, slugs, yeah, that's another matter.
I'm wondering whether they're making a start on world domination? Those little hard hats they wear are such a giveaway.
Don't the French eat those things?!
I mean, come on, that's a party on a stick!!
Bon Appetite!
Nun,
Good thinking - I'll keep a look out for smoke.
Brennig,
Thanks Dad.
G-day right back at ya, Davo!
Pig,
I know, it's quite revolting isn't it? The sound they make is quite unnerving too...they sort of creak and chafe ecstatically, interspersed with the odd 'woohoo!'
Jaywalker,
Surely no-one would pay for snail porn? You must know some quite seedy types. That said, a horny, randy snail who perhaps wasn't getting as much shell on shell action as they'd like, might be up for it. Maybe I'll have a chat to my bank manager, put a business plan together. Get sectioned again.
Potsy,
I wouldn't want to give Sir David a funny turn - I have a soft spot for him.
Hi Barbara, welcome to the surprisingly sensual world of snail group sex. I'm not sure if they are smiling, or gurning in ecstasy - hard to say.Depends which way up they are.
Jo,
I know I can always count on you for a straightforward answer. Thanks, duck. x
JNRR,
Overtaken by a wave of snail larvae...I think I'm gonna puke. Thanks for the award. When I've finished dry-retching I'll come by to collect.
Hi Jen!
Yes, I think snails and ants are planning something. There are certainly a lot of the little buggers around this year.
Molly,
What a fantastic idea. Sort of a twist on the cheese and pineapple cube on a cocktail stick. I'm well sorted for aperos now.
To be fair, they look like they're giving you a (very effective) V sign, perhaps in anticipation of you mocking their Scout meeting? Snails are quite sensitive about Scouting you know, Baden Powell was a Snail too(a well disgusied one) and bought the whole scouting movement to Humans from the snails. They are still miffed to this day that they don't get a mention in the Scout Promise. MH
