All's well here at The Dispatch. The snails have started a drum circle. For the first few days they were drumming and we couldn't figure out what the sound was, because the drums they're using are so small and sounded like some kind of rhythmic popping in the bathroom. But we eventually found them hunkered under the cupboard below the sink just grooving. They're getting really good at it.
