Its that time of year. Everything around us, for want of a better phrase are' bang at it' Its spring, and the hormones of all nature are waking from their slumber and doing the most animalistic of all things, mating. Birds, rabbits, fish, ducks, and presently frogs are risking their lives in pursuit of a few moments of pleasure and the continuing evolution of their species.
Nature can be kind, but it can be cruel. Its time for the frogs. You know Frogspawn? You can go to the pond and see literally hundreds of frogs all looking for action, they are hell bent, and will go to extreme lengths to do their stuff. Unfortunately as the darkness falls on the day, and caravans and cars are coming and going, the frogs are putting their lives at stake in order to do what they need to do. Alas there are numerous squashed froggies around the place with a little glint frozen in their little eyes. You can barely walk ten yards in the dark without treading on them.
The ducks are also going crazy, competition for the female is fierce, and often there will be 3 or 4 male ducks chasing the females around, fighting each other for her attention. It serves an interesting reminder of where all natural life evolved from and where males, and not just humans, keep their brains.
Even I have been seduced. My beautiful girlfriend asked me to get her something from town to put her in the mood!
I came back with some WD40. The back legs on the van are terribly squeaky!
