Thorin's Daily Happenings

Thorin, a Maltese software engineer and owner of two persian kittens, has set up a blog to record his daily events. In this post he writes about car washing and eating snails:

I started off the day by waking (considerably and unsurprisingly) late and after a cup of coffee I went to mum's to wash the car. It definitely was in need of a wash after months of collecting dirt and after, more or less, an hour scrabbing and scruffing off layers and layers of grime I was happy to sit down and eat a very deserved lunch which consisted of artichokes and snail casserole. Yes, snails, those small invertibrates with shells which go out after the first rains. It's a speciality here in Malta which I also believe is also in France. Anyway after dinner I got back here at home and did some house cleaning, watched some TV etc..
