FRIDAY the 13th….

 

Always a bummer! always something goes wrong. Came home from a sort of good day at work to find the baby pond temp had dropped 10 degrees, heater had blown.

Pulled the polly tunnel off fixed it, but it kept tripping out. Awful, awful awful day. Couldn’t get it right. In the end it seemed that it was the mains plug it was fixed into was the problem. So we sorted it out.

 

Couldn’t bump the heat back up though not to 18 degrees so had to settle for 12, that would be okay for them gradually over the next couple of days, 😦 nightmare.

 

If it isn’t the guinea pig, it is the fish…. or I am not well…. yeah still not 100% but a little better.

 

I am getting drunk tonight and going to eat a lovely manchester tart from work 🙂

 

Enjoy your evening all, will update you better tomorrow.

YIKES!!

 

Today’s events…

 

So feeling a little better, once more. Thankfully, everything seems to be settling down. It has been a rough few days though, awful in fact. Fingers crossed that I don’t get any more 🙂

 

 

I got a text today about rescuing some fish for a while. The lady who owns them lost her husband and was finding it very difficult to look after them. We first helped her out in the summer and found a good home for four of her larger fish, but the smaller ones we couldn’t sell or re-home. So we hoped that she would be able to manage them, not being as many over the winter. Sadly not, it was worrying her silly, so we brought them home today… sort of against my better judgment. As with having baby koi, we’ve no QT to isolate them and treat them, we just had to wiz them straight into the big pond.

 

Of course, all my fish are happy to see new friends. And went right into pushing them around the pond. I think it will take them a while to settle in, but they’ll be fine. At least if we get bad weather the water is heater here, they’ll not have a rough winter.

 

I’ll just have to be careful. They are five rather large fish, which might just push my filter (which is in winter low mode) over the edge, but I am a careful person, so everything should be good.

 

Been a very busy evening,  just settling down now.  Don’t know how much I’ll do tonight but I am going to try some plotting 🙂

 

Have a fab evening all, speak soon.

Hey there,

 

Feeling still under the weather, nothing like working when you have a fever and a really bad throat. 😦

 

I went to bed at 7:30 last night and slept for most of it. Think I’ll be doing the same again, well after a nice bath.

 

Thinking more about short scripts today, actually wrote out a small plot line for one. I guess I should start writing it. Wether or not it fits someone’s bill, its a nice idea and I like it so why not 🙂

 

Just not tonight, will try and start something by the weekend though.

 

Paul is off tomorrow, so he can do some of my jobs and get stuff ready for when I get in, might be feeling even better tomorrow.

 

I cancled my scuba training, can’t dive with a cold or anything so no point going. Paul said he will go swimming though, he needs to get himself fitter so he can join in on the dives, and I know he really wants too.

 

Got my email from EON saying the cash for this solar payment will go in the bank  soon. Good, I’m buying a cross trainer/exercise bike to help us both burn some energy 🙂 Can’t wait for that.

 

The guinea pig looks better though he seems  to have a nervous twitch. His cut looks so much better, but it is itching him which he doesn’t like.

 

Fingers crossed we’re both better soon….

 

Have a fab night all, catch you later.

YUK!

 

What else can I say, I woke at 4:30 this morning in agony. I had thought during the week that I felt a little feverish so had taken some beechams etc. But, didn’t think any more of it. So today my whole left side of my neck throat and ear is  in so much pain it is unreal. There are no words to say how bad it feels. Like swallowing red hot molten glass, maybe. Yes, I think that suffices.

 

I got up at 10, went with Paul to collect my brothers fish  tank, which has gone to a lovely home. His fish 4 of them, went to a different home, but wow, they were bigger than we first thought. Paul dropped me back at home and he went onto deliver the tank.

 

I went back to bed, and have such, just got back up. Still in agony. I think I might have to see the doc tomorrow… This time last year, I had tonsillitis on and off for 5 weeks. I don’t want it like that for the next few months 😦

Done my jobs, not hoovered though, that can wait till tomorrow. So, I’m off to take some more medicine and relax for the  evening. Night all.
