Lopping

The plants seem to enjoy their summer alone, reaching for the sky and all that, but today was lopping time for this baby. Looks a lot better now that all the dead and dying bits are in the compost bin.
While S was doing the plant business I was working on the fishtank. Huge amounts of algae to get rid of, I think the feeder must have been dispensing a bit too generously. We've only lost one fish over the summer which is pretty impressive but there's no sign of the shrimps. I'm hoping they're just overfed and are relaxing in the shrimp cave.
Just back from the Tiq and our first few pints of Deuchars in months. Pretty damned good! Great to catch up.
