Another personal achievement

All my life I was told by my father, Dr Jigsaw, I was not allowed to mow the lawn as I would probably cut my feet off (yet another nail in the family clumsy coffin). After watching the poor Husband-person slave over a hot lawn these past few months (I think our lawn grows a foot a week), I volunteered to learn how to mow (which he was more than happy to teach me). And guess what - I DIDN'T CUT MY FEET OFF.We are now a sophisticated lawn maintenance tag team - he whipper snippers, I mow (except for the bits that go down the hill, he does those). And now, rather than lying in the house feeling guilty for watching him slave away, I can go outside and get all hot and sweaty myself. Yeah. I'm off to Bunnings to purchase some ear protection.

This little guy has been sighted several times in my backyard - first in my peg basket, then on the laundry screen door as seen here. Any thoughts on the type of frog, animal geeks?


Update: This appears to be an Eastern Sedgefrog, based on my research.

We have increased the security presence over the Xmas period (shoplifters, you know). We now have another crocheted fellow, given to Husband-person for Xmas by DJ Bebe. The bear was sent by Better Sue (apparently his name is Random!)
