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.

Oh. There's the cheese.

Remember when Frog went cheesemaking?

After much sitting around in dark cupboards and then in the fridge the time seemed right to check the results.

 Looks like a cheese.

 Smells like a cheese.

Feels like a cheese.

Good news people.  It was a cheese!

Past tense now.

Enough, already!

"Stop", says Frog.

"Enough with the housing design suggestions.
I have a plan.
I am knitting away at it every day.
When I am finished it will look like this, only bigger.
So please, just let me get on with it."

That's just ducky

Enough with Melbourne housing options.

One frog and his friend look further afield in the quest to find a suitable design for Frog and Potato's new home.

What about...

A pyramid?



The friend vouches for the fact that they are sturdy and weather-proof. Her own pyramid has been around for a few thousand years.

For the love of frogs

Frogs do some amazing things.

They vomit out their stomachs.
They eat weird stuff.
And they sometimes keep people entertained.

Here's one boy who has been on the receiving end of some frog entertainment for a few months.

Looking good Darcmeister.

Nice to see you up and about. Keep up the good work.

Bonfire Frog

You've heard the phrase "out of the frying pan, into the fire"?

Frog decides to take a little culinary adventure in a Vietnamese Restuarant.
She bravely sits atop the flaming pot until...

..the lid is removed and she surfs the steaming hot beef beneath.

Mint is so soothing for hot, sore feet.


But the end result (rice paper, anchovy sauce, hot braised beef, mint, lettuce, various other bits) is
DELICIOUS!

The things you see


A frog was just glancing casually through a magazine.


There were many interesting under the sea photos.  
He could almost imagine he was floating right there.


He found one picture he liked of a sea turtle.


 Imagine his shock when he turned the page.

Home sweet home

As Frog continues to knit away at the Eiffel Tower, more suggestions for housing designs come in.


One frog with a head for heights suggests anything on a tower would be good, so Frog feels vindicated with his original choice.


Another suggests something a little closer to the ground might be more the thing. 

Something a bit funky.


Which ocassionally features a faux-egyptian floor show.

Bright colours and dancing girls?  What more could you want?
