    Went and sat out for a cuppa earlier and look what I saw! At first I thought they were fighting, but Mr Mac explained they were mating. I don't like slugs, and I'm not usually a voyeur, but it was fascinating to watch. They were chasing each other round in circles, then every so often would dive at each other with these wierd looking extra tenticle things, which Mr Mac said were their sex organs. A bit minging I know, but still, nature in action.

    Hope you did the decent thing and let them finish before you killed them, sometimes they hang on a thread of slime erotically intertwined, aint nature wonderfull.
