New Frog!

I just adore my new frog! That’s him on the left (if you can’t tell). he’s a “fine art” frog, and has a Van Gogh print on his back because he is very very special indeed. I also got a little box for Dried Frog Pills, neatly combining my passion for frogs with my love of the Discworld.

I keep meaning to photograph the various frogs in my collection and post them on the site. Then I think “Meh, why?” then I think “Ah, why not?” and so it continues. Trust me, at some stage I will be bored enough (or have something else to do that I don’t want to do and will need a distraction) and the whole collection will go up. And then I’ll think “Meh, why?”.

The self issues machine that repeat readers will recall was a nightmare earlier this year has gone. Well it went a couple of weeks ago actually - a good two months after the end of the trial. THe old one, which I like to whisper sweet nothings to - was dragged out of it’s sulk and is now working wonderfully. I mention this because another branch also had a trial of a new self issues machine, but from a different company. However, this trial was a bit of a waste of time as three months later they still can’t get it to work. The obvious thing to do, then, would be to send another of those machines we can’t get to work to us at my branch. Presumably to see if it won’t work there either. It arrives Monday. Prepare for crankiness.

    What a wonderful looking frog! Is he porcelain?

    and btw, who is this Meh that you keep addressing?

    He is rather splendid, I must say. He’s made of china.

    Meh is just a nothingy word, means you can’t be bothered, or aren’t impressed.

    That is just about the most repulsive artefact I have ever seen. Or artifact, for foreign readers.

    That’s because you have no taste in frogs, JP.

    I think he’s a yakuza frog. Note similarity to these chaps:
