Sarah and Ian's Move to Ottawa

The story so far...having planned and booked a three month trip to South America, we were given a difficult decision to make when Ian was offered a job in Canada. After much hard thinking, we took the job, but get the best of both worlds as we still have two weeks in Brazil and Chile before arriving in Ottawa. We are now living in Ottawa and enjoying the big adventure of living somewhere new. This is the story of our experience...

Jump, Jump for Their Lives

We went for a walk this evening. We walked through the Glebe to a little lake on Holmwood Avenue. It had been raining heavily that afternoon. As we got nearer to the lake we noticed that there were hundreds of tiny frogs on the pavement. They must have been only a centimetre square. Hundreds of baby frogs trying to quickly jump away from our huge feet as we pounded along the pavement. It must have taken us 15 minutes to walk 100 metres as we didn’t want to squash them. It was quite cute to see them but it was a bit frustrating walking that slowly.

    I hope none of them croaked under your feet.

    If one of the frogs had been a bit simple you could take the mickey and ribbit (rib it).

    You should have complained to the council and got them toad (towed) away. (A toad is a bit like a frog.)

    Continue with more weak frog puns...
