... I left out something very important from my last vital functions update

[kaberett]

specifically: the FAKE SNAKE I Bullied Terribly at the plot Friday last.



Slow worms are lizards that Forgot how to Leg. I am super fond of them; there are a bunch of them at the allotment, but I've consistently utterly failed to get half-decent photos, hence swooping (cruelly) on this opportunity. I put it back down within fifteen seconds of picking it up; it wiggled affrontedly off.

look at its little face

Slow worm: what.... what. what. is hand. why hand. what.

it did some initial half-hearted wriggling, decided I'd gripped it (not hard! I have some amount of experience handling wee corn snakes) such that dropping its tail wasn't going to help, and settled with disgruntlement into Feigning Death, thus allowing a pretty decent picture for the time constraints I Feel.
