Something fishy
Lack of blogging yesterday was possibly due to shock of having 12 comments on the post from the day before. I don’t think I’ve ever had 12 comments before, unless you count comment spam. Anyway, have now recovered. Keep those comments coming though, ’cause I like ‘em 
Right, so what have we done since Wednesday… well, the boys had a maths madness day yesterday, when they all did loads and loads of maths. Then the older three went off to archery in the afternoon, and Freddy came home with a badge because he was the best at something-or-other. He’s very pleased with himself - he’s come very close to getting this badge and then just missed out several times, so he’s thrilled to finally do it
This morning there was a great deal of stamping and drawing going on - and then a bit more stamping (of feet) when I discovered the state of the dining-room. Anyway, got that cleaned up and headed off to the aquarium shop.
We have now added three of these to our aquarium. They’re clown loaches, and apart from being very useful (they eat snails), they’re also very amusing - real characters. After watching them for a couple of minutes you can see why they got themselves called clowns. They’re about 5 or 6 cm right now, but could possibly grow as big as 16 cm.
We also added six of these - just because they’re so pretty. They’re blue-eyed gertrudes. They could grow up to about 3 cm in length; right now they’re about half of that.
Barney and Scratchy have gone off to play basketball this evening - Barney was a bit fed up because he’d arranged to “meet” some friends from the archery club on Runescape this afternoon, but none of them was on-line when he was. Tomorrow is the usual Saturday morning swimming-and-trampoline deal, and then… well, probably some fish-watching

So, is fish watching as relaxing as I’m told it is? Never really did anything for me.
I don’t know about relaxing - it’s certainly far more interesting than I expected it to be. I think maybe it depends on the fish too - some species are much more active, some are very peaceful, some interact more, some are loners, etc.
Well, you don’t trip over them, they don’t make noise, they don’t smell, they don’t get jealous, hmm.. what else appeals to me?
Enjoy!
