        Just been out to cut down a sycamore thats growing at the base of a hydrangea and accidently cut through a slug with the secateurs without realising and then stuck my thumb in it. Getting slug juice out of under your nail is not that easy or much fun :eeew:

        Also then killed 3 snails in the process
