DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL (Part Four)

If you have been following the epic story of the mysterious slime in Somerset, then you will know that:

FIRST: Tony Whitehead sent me a Press Release about some mysterious slime found at a Somerset nature reserve.

SECOND: I wrote back to Tony with a theory, and a North Devon vet had a similar one.

THIRD: Tony sent me a second RSPB Press release.

In the meantime, back in the early 1970s Frank Zappa released this song, and a few weeks ago Corinna posted this story on the CFZ Newsblog.

This afternoon Prudence decided to take Corinna and me for a walk to Huddisford where we wanted to check on the progress of the frogspawn that was laid there a month back. It is developing very slowly whereas ours from both samples has hatched and the tadpoles are growing nicely.

Guess what we found?

On our return, I wrote to Tony at the RSPB Press Office:

"THE PLOT THICKENS
I was out this afternoon with Corinna and the dog, and we photographed some slime which certainly was frogspawn with the nuclei eaten by something/someone. There are still a very few nuclei visible. I have the greatest respect for Mr Green's theory, but I think my original one probably works as well...
J"

Watch this space for further developments, boys and girls, and remember...don't touch that dial!"
