Sunday

At the car boot sale yesterday I bought a bigger fish tank. Only £5, it was a bargain - including fabulous fake weed, a pump, gravel and food.
Now that we have four fish it seemed only right to upsize their accommodation!
Also, now there are four of them (New New Lucy, Libra, Barbara and Pink Beak!) the tank seems to get filthy again pretty much as soon as you clean it out!
And as we all know, we're on risky ground in this house cleaning out fish!
So Mr K washed out the new tank, added the gravel and the weed and the fake log and the drops to condition the water and the drops to fight algae and switched on the pump.
Two minutes later the tank was awash with white gunky flakes and slime.
Nice.
So he washed it all out again, filled it all up again and left it on the table again to get up to room temperature.
As I was clearing the table I noticed a big puddle of water under the tank. I mopped it up thinking it must have dripped from the jug was we filled it.
Ten minutes later there was another pool of water and on closer inspection I noticed a bloody great crack down the back of the tank.
Annoying.
That's a morning we'll never get back!!
On the plus side I went to the gym and did a proper workout for the first time in ages.
And we had a nice productive Sunday doing lots of jobs around the house that needed doing and enjoying being in the house together for more than a couple of hours!
And the fish aren't dead.
Yet.
