Froggy at Lumley Hill
SHOWER with a friend to save precious water. That's the advice from Environment Minister Sherryl Garbutt, who said people who showered together would conserve thousands of litres of water over summer.
I'm going to talk to Froggy about something!
I'm willing to share my shower to save water, as long as Froggy lets me know when and where he's going to hop.

PS: 12/11/2002
Well things seem to be working out well, until this morning.
My bathroom doesn't have lights that work, (they can be fixed, but I like candles instead) early this morning around 3.30am, I went to the bathroom in the dark as I often do, forgetting this is around the time froggy is coming back from being outside at night.
I washed my hands, then decided I would stay up and read for awhile, so I reached for the toothpaste and as I did Froggy reached out and covered my hand. I jumped pulling my left arm which at the moment has frozen tendons, it had me in so much pain, I couldn't move for ages, nor did I have time to think about the fright he gave me.
I know we are now sharing showers, but I didn't know Froggy and I share the same toothpaste.
Next time he will need to croak to let me know he is there.
No that's not right, next time I must remember, I was early, he was just coming in at the same time on his way to my office where he now spends his days.
Next he will want his own webpage!
