Slugs and snails

Been scrubbing the terrace and trying to clean the plastic sheeting that I store the garden furniture in during the winter. Found the biggest slug I have ever seen. Absolutely disgusting. Thought this was going to be a month of pool time? My neighbour cut down the kiwi/triffid which was threatening to engulf the balcony. And I planted up some flowers. Hopefully one more day of hard work and then the lounging around can commence. What I have learned today about Italy - the slugs are monsters.
