Mcrudd's tank grew a nice green jungle effect in a few weeks.

Mostly due to Indian Fern 8)

LOL My tank is driving me potty, it just wont stop growing :nilly: Every week I do a waterchange I take handfulls of christmas moss, ambulia, indian fern and some other big leaved plant out. I just can't keep up. Last week I just gave some away, will try and do that once a week, its just that I live so far out of the way pick up is difficult

Today I did washing and washing, cursed I am to have a intex pool LOL

ie just got home drill a 40ml hole in a glass tank first time ,,reilly nerves...thats was easy...

also upgradeing my fish transporter as my other is to small for a fish pick in the new year got to make a frame yet,,,,,hehehe

thats not big enough

you don't listen do you

yes you told me its about 600 long..the intrunals is 1200 x 500 x 400 depth..

it's big enough for a few muffins and a flask of hot chocolate, and that's about all

certainly not big enough to capture a rogue air swimmer.

:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Sophia :rotf: :rotf: you go girl.. stop .wait...potty time... :rotf: :rotf: :digH:

hahaha :sml2:

I don't think I deserve a muffin this weekend. Had too many naughty things already this week :facepalm:

now change the subject so I can stop thinking about food

how is it that if I say I want to watch a nature programme my husband moans and groans it's not exciting enough for him, but then I hear him watching it while he flicks channels in the other room :sage: I'm going to go and spring him in the act :happy2:

will any one of thesel do....1000l bath or container....

container

ok

Off to go watch my cousin do his Kung fu black belt grading today in palmy. Should be good fun! :thup:

Got my occlusive dressing removed today and managed to walk 3km! Not quite half the distance I am used to doing daily but it is a start and only 9 days after surgery. I can also bend down (carefully) and pick stuff up off the floor! :happy1:

Waiting for the lawn to dry out a bit more so I can mow it. The battery operated mower struggles a bit when it is wet.

makeing a pavalova yumm :spop:

I was going to then decided it was quicker and easier to buy pav 2nds from the pav n pie shop for $2

better home made :cofn: :spop:

Caryl I hope you are being good to yourself and not overdoing it with the mowing. Nothing worse than the healing process dragging on due to an impatient subject! :sage:

In other news I now have 5 microrasbora erythromicron in my breeding tank. Their colours were a little fadey so fingers crossed I picked a mixture of males and females :happy1:

Anthony do you make the old fashioned type that are more like a large, flat meringue or the newer, high, soft version found today?

I was going to make them but as I am doing all the baking for my dad's 80th, it was going to take up too much time (and egg whites) so bought bulk

Sophia I wish you well with those little cuties.

Not overdoing it. Having a good day today (bad one yesterday) and only had 2 painkillers at 8.30am.

Mowed the lawns (but Grant had to put the battery in and empty the catcher each time) and he did the edges and weeded a bit around the pond. He found a Myriophyllum I thought had died and cleared the pond filter inlet tube again. He has yet to build a mesh covering for it but has bought the materials.

We have taken off all the protective, white, frost coverings from the climbers at the end of the pergola. The stupid things like to twine in a big fat mass rather than spread out and grow along the pergola beams like I want them too :an!gry

Fed the goldfish, since they were all hanging about seeing what we were up to. They are looking good but no sign of spawning as yet, which is unusual. Usually they have been at it since early November!

Lilies are flowering a lot and leaves are now large and green. For the first few years I was concerned as the leaves were small and brown.

LOTS of large snails in the pond. If anyone wants some I am sure we can spare a few (thousand) :thup:

my turn out high soft ....all to do with the beating....and leve it in the oven to cool..do not open that door...intill cool

Danio erythromicron

probably one day but I don't think they are officially reclassified yet

in any case we all know what they are 8)

Have you got any new photo's of your pond Caryl? I'd love to see how it's getting on.

Just managed to successfully convert the video my daughter was in with their end of year concert, a friend recorded for me but it was a m2ts format, and my pc took some time to accept it. Well enjoy the video http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii238/mcrudd/?action=view&current=20111207091255.mp4

the kids seem a bit confused in the beginning, its where the teacher mucked up the song a bit, but then they are on their way again

here is a pic of my daughter (she is right in the front) so you can recognise her in the video, you can see she loves to play her wii dancing games, she is seven :slfg:

Someone should have told that boy to sit down! :roll:

At least they were all having fun.

I have just realised it is my wedding anniversary today so happy anniversary to me. 34th I think :-?

One day Grant and I will actually remember it. It is my mum's fault as she usually reminds us but obviously has forgotten it herself :facepalm:

Here is the pond as of a few minutes ago...

The plants have grown a bit since the beginning eh? Here it is in Nov 2007...

Wow it is beautiful Caryl !drool: Those lotuses are awesome
