I feel so silly but you guys are the only ones awake!
I just went outside on my midnight ritual of looking at the stars and saying Goodnight Universe
And a small frog jumped in and is now under my sofa in our conservatory!
The conservatory is open (as in no other doors to close) to the dining room and kitchen before the next door.
Other than leave the conservatory door open all night and hope it leaves - and nothing else gets in - any advice?
Sorted.
I played some frog sounds, put a bright light outside next to some water.
It poked its head out. Hopped closer to the door and as I got ready to gently put the towel over it it jumped right out the door.
I’m quietly pleased that I don’t break out into major panic, only a flap.
Valen would have known what to do straight away.
But the praradox is that if he had been here to deal with it, it wouldn’t have happened in the first place as I wouldn’t have gone outside at midnight.
Frog sounds are quite rhythmic and relaxing.
