Skite Skite Skite!! Seriously though, the very dry weather has caused
the disappearence of almost all the molluscs in our garden too (though I
doubt permanently) I am just finding the odd one clinging in some shady
corner and tightly shut against drying up.

How is your garden faring? So far we have been able to keep ahead of the
drought thanks to watering and the odd most welcome shower so we can't
really grumble like the poor South Island.

Cheers
