Mrs Frog is out early this morning to check on the progress of her little taddies...

 

 

A frog goes into a bank and walks up to the window. He can see from the teller’s nameplate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So he says, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a yacht and go on a cruise." Ms. Whack asks how much money he wants to borrow. The frog says around $55,000. Ms. Whack asks the frog his name and he replies "Kermit Jagger, it shouldn’t be a problem, I know the branch manager." Ms. Whack explains that $55,000 is a large sum of money and that he will need to put up something as collateral against the loan. She asks "do you have anything as collateral?" Kermit says, "Sure, I have this," and produces a small pewter cricket, about an inch tall. Stunned, Ms. Whack explains that she'll have to speak with the branch manager and walks into an office at the front of the bank. She finds the branch manager and says: "There's a frog by the named of Kermit Jagger out there who says he knows you and wants to borrow $55,000. He wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the small pewter cricket. "Like, what is this thing suppose to be?" So the branch manager looks back at her and says:

 

ARE you READY?

 

You're warned!

 

"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

 

they're quite shy - still hiding under the jelly and eating it - they'll need all their strength to explore the big bad pond!

 

in a couple of days I shall release the indoor ones (just hoping they won't eat all the outdoor ones! - maybe I'll wait a bit longer!)

 

 

You can see the outside ones are tadpole-shaped now...

 

and LOOK!!!  all my inside tadpoles (in a tank in the boys' bedroom) are now hatched and growing fast!!

 

My Babies!!  Now to think of 60 names beginning with "T"

 

Terry

Tony

Tonia

Thaddeus

Timothy

 

err.....

 

 

Definite changes now! And notice the bubbling - it's getting very bubbly round there - that means something's going on!

 

 

I think a slight change can be detected - a very slight kidneyfying of the dots - if you look very close...

 

I have also included a wider shot to show the extent of the spawn.
