The frogs were back, Lelie was smiling again because her friends were back, and I was sleepwalking! Even though I now try and keep the havock making amphibians from coming into my house, I couldn't keep the doors closed the whole day, as with the small windows, the house was quite dark. I was at the end of my tether, as the midnight frollicks of Lelie, and the nervous quaaking of her friends was just not good for sleeping, or for the nerves. I have come to the conclusion that frogs have well developed navigational systems, as the next weeks I spent a lot of time driving around the area in circles, frogs on the back seat in the box, to try and get them mixed up!I have dropped them close to other houses in a radious of two to four kilometers, but after a few days of bliss and peaceful sleeping, the nighly racket would start again.
One of this mornings, after a long stuggle to get the frogs, who come out the moment I put out my light, to sit under the night light waiting for insects, of which there were a lot, and Lelie at last lying in her bed as calm and innocent as a puppy, I decided to try and sleep a bit later, and so I did, until Lelie started making her wanting to pee noises, and sticking her little nose underneath my door's curtain.
I woke up, lying for a few minutes to clear my fuzzy head, and that it when my poor red, sleep needing eyes caught sight of something black just about two centimeters above my head on the wall, and not taking any time to see what it was, I loped out of the bed in one fantastic jump, ending up almost squashing poor Lelie to a pancake under my feet! I was too scared to look, as the thought of whatever it was, watching me sleep for I don't know how long, was agonizing! I don't mind the beasties in my house, as long as I am aware of where they were, and believe me, there were some horrors!
When at last I had enough courage to have a look, I found a huge rainspider sitting cosily waiting for his prey flying around  my bedlamp, and I sighed a sigh of relieve, as it could easily have been one of the poisonous ones! But I must confess, self did shiver and rattle a bitty while making my tea!
I then went to see what my garden had to offer for breakfast, and on opening some of the calico bags that I tie around the Strawberries to keep the goggas and snails out, I found  enough fruit to cut into my yoghart. Had a feast!It is not every day that I get such a lot of strawberries, but I think the noises coming from my house with Lelie playing with the frogs, kept the Peacocks away, as they had now found out that they could remove my calico pouches, and usually left me something in return by making big poo's all around! I hated them!
