Alien 'crop circles' on my garden shed! Got a little garden tool shed in a shady nook. Noticed funny patterns on the bottom of the door in the green lichen (it gets a bit damp round there). What on earth made these perfect spirals? I thought they were shadows at first. Very mathematical lichen eaters? :think:

Either way I'd be fitting a stronger padlock than that one to keep whatever made 'em inside.

I think you've solved it. :thumbup: The garden chaps jet washed the patios and paths a few weeks ago. I didn't know they'd been into that particular cranny, but just had a recce and the slabs look cleaner. It all falls into place. Not mutant alien spiral algae-eating snails at all.

I'm slightly disappointed. :lol:

No idea what's wrong with Sydney. She seems a bit sad.

You could even say a little melon collie.

I'll get my coat and Syd's lead....

Yeahbutt,mutant alien spiral algae-eating snails often use patio washing firms to mask their evil and devious intentions regarding world domination. :(

This year's Le Mans grid.

Love the big blue American interloper half way back :D They're running a single NASCAR this year as part of the Garage 56 programme - sort of a wildcard thing. It's faster than some LMP2 prototypes :lol:

All good until they come to a RH corner - isn't NASCAR 'go fast, turn left, go fast, turn left etc.?
