The bigger tadpoles/froglets will tend to eat the smaller ones.

The bigger tadpoles/froglets will tend to eat the smaller ones.

At our previous house we found that spiders would snatch them if they went too close to the sides of the pond. They also have to run the gauntlet of the dragonfly nymphs. There should be some in there but I haven't seen any yet.
It is amazing how quickly life will establish itself in a pond, in the first year we had tadpoles, damsel flies, and dragonflies.

On my way home I nipped into Tesco for a few bits, I caught the end of a one sided conversation from a woman who was talking to/at the young lad behind the counter about 'them terrorists who straps bombs to their bodies and blow themselves up, them IS..Y, no, ISISI, no ISA that's them ISA'

Someone has finally run out of steam.

Mrs R bought a really expensive rug for our living room. I've just discovered I'm seriously allergic to it. I've rolled it up and put it in the hallway. She's not going to be v pleased when she gets back.

Rocky has been silent since posting the above. I fear the worst. Should I get him listed as a missing person?

@vernon - we've come to an agreeable compromise. I've agreed that the carpet can be in the house. She's agreed that its allergenicity needs to be dealt with somehow.

It's amazing what two bin liners and a plastic shopping bag can do for one's asthma.

......Mrs R is yet to see my solution

Did you not notice before you bought it?

I've got people digging up the road outside my house .... It's going to be noisy outside today!

 

[Hill Wimp]

I bought it???? There's only one pair of trousers in our house and they are not mine.

Know your place, the Proff always knows best.

No.... they were incompetent before Lansley. It's the same old faces doing the rounds. They screw up one area, then jump ship before the brown smelly stuff intersects the rotating blades, and land a job elsewhere... where they then proceed to screw up... And so the cycle continues.

Can you not black list them?

I do hope you are planning a public valedictory speech when you retire. Name and shame these people wrecking our NHS.

Drat, it's just occurred to me that I was about to go out to get bits for cooking .... I might find it a little difficult! My gate now have a yellow barrier across it!!! (I would post a picture but I would have to crop the gate out of the photo .... to avoid any comments ... and yes it still looks the same)

Morning! There is a strange metallic smell in the air outside. For those of you that were brought up in the 60's playing cowboys it is the smell of the metal used to make the guns.

Why did you get them to do that?
