Spent the morning updating the Treegrass Special School Parent's & Friends Association logo using Microsoft Paint - which I had to work out how to use. 

We have a Summer Fair coming up - any ideas? 

We need a BIG first prize for the Raffle.

Mrs Elswitch  Fester would be a very big prize!

Bentonbag  We'd prefer a prize that people can carry away without a fork lift truck

How naughty would it be not to replace the loo roll to see if they actually know where they're kept?

Mrs Lasagne  Very naughty xxx

Mercy Dunn  Do it - I did it in a shared house for ages, just kept a roll in my bag.  It was weeks before anyone bought any, (boys)

Mrs Bun  Double dare you Ben!

Darklady  Not Naughty enough! 😜

Maligning Hedgehogs

OK hivemind I need answers.   

A couple of weeks ago my garden pond was chockka with frogspawn.  Most of it has vanished.  Any ideas what happened?

Yesterday all the frogspawn had gone (we think eaten by a hedgehog).  This morning a fresh small batch has appeared.   

Wondering about putting it in a rainwaterbutt for safety until the tadpoles hatch.  Any ideas?

Woolerwoman  Has that happened before?

If you put them in a waterbutt, would the froglets then be able to get out?

Did you support the Badger Cull petition? I got a link to the debate yesterday, read the whole thing and posted the link separately but one of the pro-cull speakers said some of the most stupid things I've ever come across, including 'badgers are harmful predators destroying wildlife ‘...(including frogs and toads).!!!

Bentonbag  No but we couldn't think of anything else that might do it.   

Froglets have no problem getting out of a water butt.  Their feet seem to stick to most surfaces.  I've put a sieve over the frogspawn.

Signed the petition.  I've almost ceased being surprised at the stupidity of people.

Woolerwoman  Glad you sorted the frogspawn. The sieve will keep the badgers out.

I may have maligned the hedgehog. 

There are tadpoles in the pond.

There is also frogspawn.

Fester thinks the first lot of frogspawn must have sunk into the stuff at the bottom of the pond.

Ms Delune  My Grandad was a fan of maligning hedgehogs, a former farmer he was adamant poor yields of milk were down to the blighters drinking it from the cow. 

Clearly the Pembrokeshire hedgehog is a larger specimen!

Back in 2020 we planned to stay at the Fairlight Guest House in Glenridding to have a trip on the steam boat during February half term.  

However Ferretfingers broke his ankle a couple of weeks before so I had to ring and cancel.   

We eventually stayed at the Gilsland Spa Hotel and drove down Glenridding for the cruise, in August 2021.

However: ever since he's been nagging about going to the Fairlight Guest House in Glenridding.   

For someone with a communication disorder he hasn't half got nagging sorted.   

I've finally given in and this evening managed to book a night at the ****ing Fairlight Guest House for Saturday 14th September.

We will be doing a train, bus, stopover, bus, train trip there and back.

Maybe now he'll get off my back.
