Longer Days

[nivrip]

Well, it's finally over.

The shortest day is now behind us and we can look forward to balmy evenings outside, walking to the pub in just a short sleeve shirt and late night BBQs in the garden. OK, maybe not this week but eventually.

The Earth continues on its journey round the Sun.

I can't wait for some sunshine again .

Our pond has had a leak, so I emptied it a few weeks back and watched the water level drop to where the leak is... I've been waiting for a dry (and not freezing) day when I can go and repair it. Not a single day in 3 weeks . It's still wet out there, but not raining at the moment - so I'm going out there this morning to fix it.

Told you these longer days are advantageous.

Finally got it fixed . Was just about to give up finding the leak, then spotted a little tear - a quick rush to the aquatic shop and bought some sealant (£12 for a tiny tube ) and liner patch.

I think it's been leaking for a couple of years, albeit slower. I hope it's still full of water in the morning as I've put the fish back in .

Bicycle repair kit would have been cheaper.

... I've put the fish back in

I'll get my rod ... what fish you got?

We've got 10 goldfish in there at the moment, a mixture of comets and shubunkins. They're only small, so I reckon you'll need at least 3 to make a sandwich .
