presents and fish


i hope your Christmases were happy and safe.  i received a herb garden from my son and dil and various other pressies.  the g/kids were happy with their loot and lunch went without a hitch.  they all begged asked for dessert this year.  usually i have to persuade and coax them to have some.  i think we all had a good time.  the weather was certainly kind to us, 39 the day before and only 26 on the 24th (when we have our Christmas lunch) .  i'm off work for a week and am busy doing up my spare room coz i got a new bed.  there's so much stuff in there.  mostly books that i'll probably never read again, and sewing and painting stuff.  there's a mountain of it.  i don't know where it all comes from.  :)  my last fishy died the other day so i cleaned out the bowl and got some more.  i wasn't paying attention and the girl gave me five of the biggest fish.  hmmm.  i have a very small bowl.  they are a bit crowded and unfortunately my favourite, pinky, died the very next day. i haven't told the kids yet.  they are dirty little things too.  the water was like pea soup yesterday, i had to run the filter thingy all day, and that agitates the water like a washing machine.  i think their days are numbered.  sorry fishies



my herb garden, i hope i don't kill them.  i am growing some coriander from seed and it's doing well atm

    You make me laugh with your fish stories. It sounds like you should just have one at a time and replace it when it dies rather than 5 at a time. I hope you are more successful with the herbs. They like lots of sun and water. Dead fish fertiliser might go well too.

      hi Diane, yes, i know, i'm not very smart when i get fish. one at a time would be better i agree. you know, when i cleaned out the tank the other day i emptied it down the drain and then thought, hey, i should put this on the garden. free fertiliser. :) hope the herbs do better

    It's the spin cycle that kills them. Don't ask how I know this. Happy Holidays.

    I am not a fish person, my daughter tried having a fish when she moved out of home but it died after only a couple of days so she didn't bother anymore.......
