I agree, we need neither sun nor hail, just rain ... and plenty of it. I cannot hear any thunder here, but there are some promising looking clouds building up.

In the absence of our Biologist:

The frog spawn contains thousands of ova that are encapsulated in a sack full of liquid (Protein and water=egg white?). This helps the eggs to survive drought. I am sure the tadpole have a way to survive the dry weather just beneath the surface of the soil where moisture is always found. Frogs aint shtupid you nooo. :roll:

A dried up stream bed runs through the village. For a couple of days there was intense rain and the stream came to life. The thing that sticks in my mind was the deafening roar caused by the huge number of frogs that suddenly appeared from nowhere. My question to those better clued up than me on Cypriot rural life is: where the **** do those frogs go for the other 364 days of the year that the stream is dry, and how the **** do they survive?

They only come out because they know the French don't like the rain.
