I am Steaming, but at least the frogs had sex!

I am seriously angry. Well, I was. Actually I have calmed down a little bit now. And I didn't lose my temper, which I am proud of, although I did obliquely threaten to make a few possible complaints about professional misconduct.

I obviously can't give details here (or anywhere else for that matter) but I have been completely shafted over a deal in a very un-professional matter by a member of a very long established and reputable firm who should have know and acted better. There may or may not be anything I can do about it.......but it made me extremely angry, in a calm, professional manner, as you can imagine.

On the other hand, here, I can confidently say YOU TOTAL FUCKING ARSEHOLE-FACED BASTARD, and know I can get away with it.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the wonders of nature continue to enthral me. First there was the incident with The Rainbow, which I will blog about another time. But today the sun shone all day. The showers of yesterday have dispersed and the frogspawn in my pond, which until last week was nothing but a mass of little black dots in hundreds of bubbles of clear jelly eggs, have become recognisably tiny tadpole shaped specks waiting to hatch.

Two years ago I had a frog, living in a half buried bucket in my garden. Last year, I wanted to tidy up the bucket, and when I cleared a pile of old wood cuttings I found frogs jumping everywhere all around my feet, so I decided to build a pond for them as a home. Last spring I had at least four large friendly frogs and a couple of smaller ones living in and around the pond, but no spawn came.

Now, although I didn't see it happen, my frogs must have had a bit of a swingers party. I have a new generation waiting to come to life.

I'd rather have that, and no deal, than a big fee and no frogs.

(And don't worry Zandi - British frogs are mainly carnivorous, eating insects slugs and worms, so they are good in the garden and won't disturb any tender young plants! )

Thanks! Actually it isn't that tranquil at the moment - they are having an extension built next door!

 I love watching the transformations. I had frogs at a place I used to live. A lot of people complain about how noisy they can be, but I love them.

Sorry to hear about the deal, but hopefully there is a better one coming your way.

Fortunately British frogs are mainly pretty quiet. Sometimes you hear a bit of croaking, but it's not common.

 I have often been very grateful that I had this place to say the things I couldn't say anywhere else!

Your story of the frogs reminds me of my brother's garden and the children many years ago chasing the frogs as they hopped across the lawn.
