When I looked at my freshly planted petunias, I was surprised that they looked rather skinny especially in the flower pots along the entrance.

At a closer look I saw SNAILS ! Never ever in the 33 years we live in this house I had a snail invation ! And not the naked once, no of course in my garden they had to move in with house, furniture and probably children ! I absolutely have to write a letter to Al Gore and ask for explanation ! Is it the global warming or are these space snails under cover ? Anyway I had to do something before they ate up the whole house and us included !

I declared "WAR " ! and put this snail killing product everywhere !

my skinny petunias attacked by 6 snails, the blue grains are poison (for snails only)

The result this morning was, that I collected around 30 empty snail houses, the corpses probably had melt with the product or went back in their space shuttle. How disgusting ! I am now a snail mass murderer, I, a such peaceful person ! But peace and love with snails doesn't work !

Even our letter box was invaded, and they had eaten up an invoice, which in itself was a nice gesture, but we probably will get a reminder !

and here is my harvest from this morning !

In contrary to myself, my computer lost his voice, the sound card is broken. (I know somebody who would prefer my sound card would brake) and as it is very expensive to repair things on a computer I found another far cheaper solution.

I just connected the two little loudspeakers which Mr. Gattino had won in I don't know what contest and they were never used and bought a micro for very cheap. Now I can hear and speak again just as I wish. I inaugurated my microphone by talking for 1 1/2 h to my friend Ilona. We had important things to discuss as we had only spoken together 12 hours before.

Doesn't it look nice ?

On Sunday I will fly to Morocco for a roundtrip through the south. As I take only a little suitcase with me I bought this backpack for my little Baby Computer which has the size of a book, for all cables, and battery chargers for cameras and mobile phone and probably some other little things. This is very easy to carry when you have to get in and out of the bus to get in and out the hotels, as we will be each day in another place.

Arthur was supposed to present my flight tickets, but as you can see he is not a very cooperative model.

Of course I will try to report about my trip and also show you photos, it all depends on Internet connections maybe camels are equipped with that today too.
