Apple snail

The apple snail is “hiding”.

At least, that is the euphemism of the day. It is actually “sleeping with the fishes”; lying on its back with its one foot in the air; it is an ex-snail.

We tried to get a replacement on Saturday – they all look the same don’t they? – but the pet shop won’t have any until Friday, so the snail will have to carry on hiding until then.

It was too big to flush down the toilet, so I had to sneak it out of the house whilst the kids were busy and dispose of it in the garden. It will provide a meal for a bird, but I’ll have some explaining to do if the kids find the shell.
