The frog symphony

My sleep cycle's a little topsy-turvy again. I blame it on the frogs.

Or I could go one step further and blame it on the rain.

When it rains constantly and heavily like it has done over the past 48 hours, the frog army invades the forest and fields around our house. These frogs have amazing stamina and lung capacity. They start their symphony at about 6.30pm and keep going till 6am the next day. The problem is made worse by the fact that they don't exactly sing rhythmically. So as I lie there, trying hard not to concentrate on their croaks, I can feel myself anticipating the arrival of the next croak, which would inevitably be totally out of time!

Maybe the frogs will get sore throats and stop. Or maybe it will just stop raining and the frogs will go home and give their voice boxes a rest
