Hello,
Well, finally the sun has re-appeared in the sky and the snow is slowly disappearing so the worms are still firmly imprisoned in the frozen ground right now but soon, soon I will be eating worm sandwiches again. Oh, I can’t wait, froglettes. How I am missing them.
Anyway, in the meantime, some of the ice has thawed which means we can go fishing again which is great news. I was very bored of eating powdered flies for every meal.
Herring Gull Harry and I were busy fishing yesterday when I started to laugh uncontrollably and I could not stop. Each time I tried, I seemed to laugh even harder. Herring Gull Harry watched on in amazement. Then he said, “Errol, that works so brilliant”.
“What?” I said between giggles.
“The laughing gas. I put some in your drink when you were not looking as I wanted to see what effect it would have.”
“On me?” I replied. “That was sneaky. Where did you get it?”
“I was given it as a present at Frogmus and had been waiting for a good moment to try it out.”
“While I’m fishing?”
“Why not?” said Herring Gull Harry unruffled.
“What are you going to do with this stuff? ” By now, my giggles were subsiding at a rapid rate but, boy, did my side ache from laughing.
“I don’t know yet,” said Herring Gull Harry vaguely, “but I am sure that I will find a suitable occasion to use it soon”.
I looked at him with a puzzled expression but he was not giving anything away to me. I wonder what he is going to use the laughing gas for! Certainly not on me again as I shall be keeping my beady eye on him.
And there the tale ends for now.
See you later, froglettes.
