That sounds like a slur on somebody......especially with the rolling pin!
I thought I'd get a prince (or John Cleese) from frog kissing, didn't realise it worked the other way as well.............

Make it's a female Bull Frog you kiss, works best, so I'm told..... I'm not in the country at the moment, my solicitor is always on hand and I make no further comments .......so why should I worry! :grin:

Considering we are nearly in the middle of September, the water garden(s) don't look too bad:

Hi Ric.
Nice log, I have enjoyed reading through it. Damsel and Dragon fly lava can reap havoc in a small pond can't they, a lesson I learnt as a small boy. With my jam jar crammed full of tadpoles and other exciting looking creatures l rushed off home to put them in my little garden pond only to find that, on arrival, everything dead except for a ferocious looking creature l learnt was a Dragonfly lava.
Ha, those were the days.

Well, that's nature, after all and it was always meant to be for wildlife. We still have adult frogs and toads around, so I guess they take their fair share of adult damselflies as snacks...the circle of life.
