My new addition

Last week, my tank had two casualties.  Whilst changing the bulb in the tank lid, my two adult pleco’s made a jump for it, completely un-noticed by DH or me.  One was discovered the following day, kindly pointed out to us by our dear cats and the other remains a mystery.

 

This drama left Snorlax (the baby pleco) all on his own and me, very upset.  DH kindly took me to the local fish shop to see if we could find another pleco to keep Snorlax company.

This is what we came home with . . . . .

Where did July go??

Apologies for the lack of blog posts but July simply seems to have disappeared – in my defence, July was a busy month.
I managed to finish the decorating that I had started (despite the cats helpfulness!); recycled an old denim jacket of mine; dealt with the usual end of school year fall out and took some time out for my aunt’s visit – oh, and I made some family/friends cards.
So, where to begin?  I actually made something for myself.  I had an old denim jacket that was in dire need of renovation.  I had some spare denim from converting various jeans into shorts and thought I would have a go at re-inventing my jacket.
I am very pleased with the result and now I have a jacket that I can wear.
