A Plague of Frogs
It's been over a week now and they're here again; a plague of frogs (Siem Reap version) ...
This is what the great LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs. The Nile will teem with frogs. They will come up into your palace and your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and on your people, and into your ovens and kneading troughs. The frogs will go up on you and your people and all your officials.
— Exodus 8:1–4
... the front door is opened in the morning and within twenty minutes one hops in and has to be expelled. They are slightly less than
thumbnail size and the thought of one of them perishing under the sofa is unbearable (cockroaches merit no such compassion, damn
them)

Yupp, all over the place. And my cats won't even go near them. I guess because some of them are actually toads.

If my landlady was there she'd be collecting them up for dinner.

Bloody frogs, next they'll be wandering off into the jungle and getting lost!
