Pour quoi frog?

Why frogs? Well, why not. These frogs are for Darcy, who has been in isolation in The Sydney Children's Hospital. If you want to follow Darcy's progress check out the journal updates here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/darcygilmour10/journal

If you want to make a frog you can find instructions at: http://www.savethefrogs.com/teachers/images/Origami-Jumping-Frog.pdf .

If frogs are beyond you, you can also give blood. Details of how available from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

Frog and Potato - romance prevails

After counselling and consulting their own hearts,
Frog and Potato finally came to accept the elephant in the room.
It helped that the elephant was a marriage celebrant.

And so the happy day came when Frog and Potato...
 ... surrounded by all their freinds and relations (including a small tomato who was a third cousin several times removed on the Potato's side), said ...

"We do".


After the ceremony, frogs and potatoes (and an odd tomato) danced like there was no tomorrow. And completely forgot that once they had been sworn enemies.


Frog could hardly contain his excitment when he kissed his new bride.

Frog and Potato - is it over?

Frog could not bear to see the sadness in Potato's eyes (all of them) and know that he was responsible.
First he vowed to change.


And then he sought professional help.
He found Dr Feline under "Pets as Therapists" in the Yellow Pages.
She had significant experience helping patients emerge from catatonic states.
And was able to help Frog too.


 Potato also sought counselling.
At first she went on her own.


And then she managed to convince Frog they should go to Couples Counselling.

Things were looking up.

Toad in the Hole




The wrong way.....



and the right way.....

Toads in holes must always wear hi-vis vests and use
reflective cones to ensure their safety at all times.

Frog Trivia


It is always an idea to have a good mix in your trivia team...


particularly a sports specialist.



All team members must be willing to take part
in the physical challenges, however difficult.


A bit of research helps
(crib notes aren't cheating, i-Phones are).


Teams with short legs are at a distinct disadvantage in some rounds

Frog and Potato's domestic dispute - consequences

Blogees may remember that we last saw Frog joyriding in a stolen car with some pond-scum pond-mates.

Fear not, gentle reader. 
He damaged only brain and liver cells.


Potato, however, was in despair.
 
She wondered if Frog's love for her was beginning to fade.
She knew she was not like any of his previous girlfriends.


Should she, perhaps, try and change?
Become a Stepford Stepfrog Wife?
Would that make him happy?

Magic

Frogs have long been associated with magic.

So it comes as no surprise to realise that frogs (and their friends and relations)
play an important part in any major spell.

Two For Tea

Tea for Two
By the Frogomotos


Picture you upon my.... knee?
(the Frogomotos get a lift into the city,
cleverly camouflaged to avoid paying the fare)


Just tea for two...


And two for tea (or maybe champagne)


Just me for you and you for me
(or egg sandwich for you and macaroons for me)


Just can't you see how happy we will be
(num, num, num, num)


(num, num, num, num..... oh, sorry, I'll continue)


Day will break and I'll awake
and start to eat all the sugary cakes


you will finish with some greens


and I will polish off the cream


Can't you see how happy we would be?
(It's mine, I tell you
No it's not, it's mine, I saw it first
Get off, I'll wrestle you for it......)

The End.

Tour de Frog - Day 1



Day one of this great race sees the froglists hit
the iconic cobblestones


... some harder than others.


Froggobank made an early break


but were quickly reined in by teams Frogesus,
Credit Agri-Tadpole and RadioFrog


Before the second cobbled section of the day ...


resulted in some serious concerns for Radio-Frog
and Froggo-Bank.

(No frogs were hurt in the making of this blog)




Frog and Potato's domestic dispute continues

Frog was outraged.

A pig?

Hah!
(Blogees may recall that after a night on the turps Frog had come home to a scene in which his beloved had called him a pig)

He would show her just how much of a pig he could be.

He rounded up his mates from the pond.
And they set off, hell bent on having a good time.

A car seemed as good a place to start as any.
Toboganning down the bonnet...

Thrill-seeking on the windscreen wipers....


And finally...
Joy riding!
