So I've gone and gotten myself into yet another project. Finishing articles on Snailkeeping has gone on hold because I got bored of keyboard mashing, so I traded keyboard mashing educational pages with making an online book/site/free downloadable PDF on obtaining supplies, setting up and generally the practical 'what am i doing' side of keeping snails because people want it and I think it'd be a nice idea.
Of course I couldn't just do that without absolute chaos reigning down in the form of summer, and a whole bunch of baby snails were cooked to death by the sheer heat. Sadly it was too late by the time I found them, but now the snails are on the receiving end of the hose daily, every morning, until this horrid weather ends. It's like a cute little party, wiggling their faces in the air trying to get as soaked as possible.
I'm trying to juggle monitoring the outdoor tank, keep the indoor tanks fed, looking after my vegetables, having some remnant of a social life, keeping my seedlings from drying out, actually being around my family and going outdoors, and it's turning into a real mess. I've thrown handfuls of food at all of them, so hopefully that's at least three days of freedom from poking, prodding and having my fingers chewed on.
How's everyone else's summer going? I thought it'd be a nice change just to have a thread for the general chit-chat instead of questions and advice and all that. I think my followers are getting fed up of my constant blabbing.
Also it's a fun 16C outside. At midnight. Guess how it feels sitting in a room with double-glazed windows.
