Opps, I've just realised what I've been doing, some of my 2022 diary posts are in the 2021 diary, must have been the drink and retirement :!:
Nevermind, anyway I haven't disappeared again, I'm sunning myself in Ireland .

Frogs are very big in our part of the world. :D

You kind of wonder what that sign could help with, they swarm across the road at certain times of the year, so could it be warning of a slippery surface! Or maybe we are supposed to avoid them, it would be certainly difficult to do with thousands of them jumping across the road. :D

I envy you that you can ride a motorcycle all year round. During the winter, I drop the snow and repair the bike for the new season. He starts riding here at the earliest in April and only occasionally. :mrgreen:
