Before we get to the business of the day, what's up with the frogs?

I assume they're frogs now.

Yeah, yeah. They're doing really, really well. They've been released into the pond

because I was getting so fed up of having tap holes in the kitchen.

That's fair.

And when they were turning into frogs, some of them were drowning.

I think we did have little stones in there for them to sit on, but they lose their gills when

they become frogs and they need to breathe. So some of them were dying and then the tampals were

eating them, which was just even more disgusting. Were you ever tempted to do like a David Attenborough

narration of the cannibalization of your tadpoles by what the other tadpoles and frogs?

That might have cheered me up because actually what ended up happening was I'd come down in the morning at six o'clock and find these tiny little dead frogs.

And then I'd have to get like a ladle and pull these little bodies out of the tank.

So at that point, I'd lost all my sense of humour.

I wasn't thinking about David Attenborough at all.

This little one won't make it.

Hasn't made it.

His stomach is slashed open.

He's being devoured by his brothers and sisters.
