Firstly of the plant variety – we finally have a proper chilli on our plant! Now we just have to decide when to eat it 🙂

One person that won’t be eating the chilli is Cerbert (we think that’s his name). Pictured on the left are my very white hands holding our latest guest. We are looking after the African land snail for a few weeks for my sister and her Fiancée.

Cerbert has been hibernating for the last 3 months but was so excited about coming to see me and Jessica that he broke the calcium seal (he had made to hibernate behind) on the trip over to our flat. We hope we can make him feel at home and that we can return him rested and well.
