We Are Nearly Out Of Fish Food,

so a trip to the fish and cheap shop in Soi 3, yes I know it is an old joke, fish and cheeps, (they sell live fish and birds), Diana took a seat after looking around, it was so hot today, made worse in here I guess because of all of the water making the air even more humid,
I we bought a few more of these cichlids as over the past few months we had lost a couple,
lots of choice here but mainly goldfish,
we also bought some tiger barbs for the other aquarium,
at the front of the store there are a large number of concrete pools, these contain guppies and other live bearers,
if you are stuck for space at home and think you do not have room for an aquarium how about this desk top one?
just 7.5 inches long, notice how the filtered water is returned to the aquarium, through the chrome tap at the top, making it seem like an optical illusion that the aquarium would over flow, then home for a cup tea or two, Mark called round in the afternoon, I had photocopied some pages from a Stanley Gibbions stamp catalogue for both of us, we both agreed that there was no doubt about it, the price of stamps have continued to rise despite the downturn in the UK economy, after he left it was on to some of our new for us DVD's,
we had purchased a 21 disc DVD collection from the Hammer House of Horror, first out of the box She, after doing military service in the Middle East, British archaeologist Holly, his valet and his handsome young friend Leo hasty mount a mini-expedition, it reaches a hidden city ruled by the supernatural Ayesha, 'She who must be obeyed', who believes Leo is is the reincarnation she waited for all those centuries of Callicrates, a companion of Alexander the Great, She offers him immortality and to share the throne as her eternal love, but it goes tragically wrong
second a couple of episodes of Open All Hours, Arkwright is a tight-fisted shop owner in Doncaster, who will stop at nothing to keep his profits high and his overheads low, his only weakness is his love - Nurse Gladys Emanuel,
a follow on from the first, Lake Placid 2 keeps other peoples blood flowing, I never knew crocodiles could eat so much, 5 people at one sitting, but there you have it, the special effects were just that - nothing special, but a great movie to watch if you like 'B' horror movies, it looked so good on the DVD cover!
then a real treat a new series of New Tricks, tonight The War Against Drugs, having lapsed into alcoholism, Brian is booked into a rehabilitation clinic run by an order of monks, a chance remark by Father Bernard leads Brian to telephone Sandra late at night to tell her that there was an unexplained death in the clinic nine years previously, we had a double helping tonight, we also watched The Truth Is Out There, Jack attends the funeral of ex-cop Derek Brooker who went to his grave trying to prove that journalist Peter Edelmann was killed by the American Air Force to stop him exposing an alleged U.F.O. crash, it was witnessed by a ufologists and another eye-witness, an ex-airman whose café has been set alight by persons unknown, all too frighten to testify and the case remains officially unsolved, then for us, off to bed.
