Yukky day 😦

 

Ummm, bit of everything in here today, but I don’t really have a lot to say today, feeling a little down. Work has just been very slow and that general buzz everyone had before Christmas is just gone. I think we all have the January Blues. Which is a shame really.

 

I managed to write three pages yesterday on my sci fi TV project. This one is just more for my fun than anything else. My characters were begging me (in my sleep) to be brought to life a little more, so I started The Secret King – The beginning, just before Christmas. I am almost to the end of the fourth act and really pleased. Although, as usual it will need heavy editing before anyone gets to read it, I am still having fun. Sometimes, you need to have a little bit, don’t you?

 

I’ve stuck to my guns for the second day. No rubbish food at work. I weighed myself yesterday and will monitor it, but am not going to get stuck into doing it everyday. Once a week and I’ll let hubby record it so he is aware  how much it drops, (slow and sure) For me the alcohol will be the biggest calorie loss. I never realised how much was in it before. So cutting that back will defo help.

 

Guinea pigs are settling in well. Although, the smaller one’s bite  isn’t healing very well and keeps opening up. He’s on pain meds at the moment, and we’re keeping an eye on him.

 

Fish are all fine, babies are growing massive, will need to keep them a few more months yet and then get rid of them. Sell them hopefully, they’re looking smart now. 🙂 I am really pleased with how they’re looking, such hard work to raise, but worth it.

 

Going to try and aim to finish the next few pages and to the end of Act four on TSK… will let you know how I get on tomorrow 🙂

 

Speak soon.

Umm,

Baby koi seem much more alert today. Hope the Machalite is working. Had to do my usual water change today, I can get away with every two days just about, but this would then water the medicine down, so put in a half dose to combat it.

I hope that it will work, will do a third half dose on Monday and hope that 7 full days of treatment will be suffice to eradicate the white spot.

Fingers crossed.

White Spot?

So I really do think the baby koi have white spot. Several of the black ones have tiny spots all over them and some of the orange ones too.

I treated last night with 40ml of Machalite green, for 800gal but I can’t turn my UV off(stupid electrition wired it to the filter pump) I really need to know what effect this will have on the treatment?

Also if this doesn’t clear up after a while, should I try something else? I don’t want to nuke it by any means because I don’t know how hardy baby koi are…

Any help really appreciated, this is a pretty testing time for me.

Getting very active in my pond. Am sort of worried now as I got three females and around 10 males… lol.

Was chatting to ghost about colour changes in fish, I think bog boy is going to turn darker in our water. Some of it I think is bruising and where he’s cut himself from flicking will take some time to heal I think. But will record how he is doing. And see what real changes he makes in our water. :) All very interesting stuff.

The little black fish which was riddled with carp pox and fungus fin has healed totally he’s actually getting gold stripes down his side, wonder how he is going to turn out? very strange…

Oh yeah water perams are all good, feeding fine, swimming around fine :) Chuffed…

So Big Boy is swimming around with all the other fish, but my mummy ghosty is freaking out. Like big time…. she has a massive rub on her side from someone else pushing against her… Yikes who ever wanted spawn? I think I’d rather have happy fish :(

Least he is healing. His red missing scale doesn’t look so bad, the bruising on his head is going, he looks whitish with a hint of pink. Which is awesome. The Big shiro female is flicking, but Mr Miyagi said that is moving the eggs about. NO other fish are flicking now. :) Big Bonus

So watch this space. Fixing the QT this weekend. Setting it up for next week. And the two seperate vats for the fish while we drain the pond…

:) keep you informed :)
