As I type, there is a snail on the outside of my garden window.
It hasn`t moved at all since daybreak; it is just sitting there.
I cannot understand why it had the urge to crawl up a wall then onto a window, some four feet above the floor, just to stay there for the day.
There is no food for it......no companion snails, even.
Sometimes, things are just odd.

Sometimes it's just nice to be alone, whether it be on a window or on the couch. The peace and quiet and basking in the warmth of the sunshine whether you be snail or human! LOL!
On another note, glad to know all is well with Abby. And Happy Birthday to DH...a suit of armour...very cool (as long as he doesn't attempt to put it on!).
Hi Philippa
Perhaps it did want to be alone...I hadn`t thought of animals as needing solitude like humans sometimes do !
I miss those big snails I used to see in Switzerland. Once, in grade school, we held a snail race, with lettuce leaves as bait/reward/motivational item. It was pretty cool to watch them eat at the end of their efforts. Snail mouths...cool.
We don't have them here...only the occasional slug, and plenty of skunk. Say hello to the snail for me.
