Yep, it is Christmas morning here and all is well, (so far). We are off down to lunch at Mum’s today and I will celebrate the day with some relatives that I don’t much care for and some relatives that I adore. So it should be an interesting day… I wonder if it will be seen as a bit odd, if halfway through lunch I whip out a note-pad and start jotting things down..hmmm???
Now back to the Tadpoles and their mighty clean-up. I have a fish tank on the table next to my computer and over the years this tank has held everything from spiders, (which ended up so cobwebby you couldn’t see anything) to lizards. Who begged me with their sad lizardy eyes to be let go back into the wild of the garden, so they could dream dragon dreams.
At the moment it actually has a couple of small silvery fish in it. One of the very first things Amy does when she is here, is feed the fish. I pass her the fish food and she plonks a great toddler handful into the water. Miss Amy happily gives the fish enough food to satisfy a smallish shark and then I distract her with the ball and Harry the dog.
So, because of the generous overfeeding of its inhabitants, the fish tank had become a bit green and algae-fied and even after I had cleaned it out, the algae started to grow back really quickly.
Enter the tadpoles… Yay.. I relocated 6 taddies from one of the outside ponds and they ate all the algae. In two weeks it has gone from a green pit of doom to a normal looking fishtank.. YAY…
I am off now to get ready for Christmas lunch. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays or Bah! Humbug! The choice is yours xxx cheers Kim
