the toad relocation program

the toad relocation program


Lucy found a common toad early this morning

we decided to take it to the pond a field away (to stop the cats from killing it...as, ur...might have happened earlier in the week)

me, Lucy, maximum (aka toad handler) and snoop trudged across in our wellies 

(snoop does not have wellies)

took some pictures and returned home

"who you calling common?"

<< previous     next >>


putting away the Tupperware we had used to carry mr.toad to pond, we found mrs.toad

<< previous     next >>

feeling guilty for splitting up a happy couple, we re-booted and walked back to the pond with mrs.toad


and back home again

mark, nina, mum-mum and dad-dad came for lunch and mark gave me some first aid teachings

my brother and my dad have been in the Red Cross forever and i grew up around resuscitation dummies (does this explain anything?) and first aid classes

in fact, i was even in the Red Cross juniors as a kid but i have managed to retain ZER0 first aid skills or information 

which needs to be redressed, much like dad-dad's elbow from when he felll and cut himself on thursday

after dinner, i helped our landlady jet wash our little community's shared blocked drains

<< previous     next >>

just as i was getting changed out of drain splattered clothing, i found a third, friendly common toad trying to jump the step into our house 

<< previous     next >>

decided we didnt need to take toad 3 to the pond accross the fields, in the dark


so we relocated him to a damp gulley nearby

I didnt know toads live for 10-12 years (if they dont get savaged by bastardly cats)


i'd quite like a pet toad

they're pretty friendly and pretty.

we used to have HUGE toads at the farm years ago: noisy toads the size of small cats

but less furry: more warty
