Because I'd hate to think any of my gaga friends had to go through what I've just gone through.
I had a takeaway dinner..... it being New Year (have to have everything tidy for the 'bells') I took the leftovers to the outside bin. It's dark. It's wet. I have stone stairs to go down outside. I fell down a set of these babies last week on black ice - but that's another story... but it does explain why - .....I'm very cautious on these steps at the moment. I went down them one step at a time, holding on to the wall... hobbled to the bin..... deposited remnants of ribs and rice in said bin... turned round.. back to stairs.... up one step... ooops... best hold on to the wall and then it happened....
I put my hand full square on a SLUG!!!!! EEEEEWWWWW! EEEEEEEWWWWW! EEEEEWWWW! EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I'm traumatised.
