Toad Update

Regular readers will recall the Australian Toad Problem mentioned recently. I found an update today.

There are more uses for toads than you'd initially suspect including:
* brewing their carcases with liquid molasses and fish emulsifier to make 'toad juice' which is apparently a great fertiliser.
* skinning them for their leather to make; purses, wallets and mobile phone covers.

From a Mrs Scott-Virtue (you couldn't make up a better name!) "We have a saying - if everyone in Australia became a toad-buster, the toads will eventually be busted". go the can-do spirit!

Maybe we should adopt the same approach to possum killing here?

Love, B (just reread the live drinking blog from y'day - eh seemed better than I thought it would be)
