What made you happy today?

@GPTV Yes that's meant to be rummy nosed tetras 🤣
Yeah fish tanks are amazing when I was really little my parents would put me and my brother in front of the fish tank and it would keep us entertained for ages. No it's not me with the albino ones I have blue leopard corydoras (I think anyway :)) ).
Wow 27 years! That's one ancient fish I'm not surprised you don't want to upset him/her.
I'm with you on the cosmetics front I'd rather have fish :))

@alpacasqueak I'd love some more tetras we don't have very many atm and maybe some more cories too

I had to google ‘blue leopard’ cories then! Of course, corydoras paleatus, Peppered cories! You can get an albino version, normally them or bronze cories really. Cracking fish too, really easy to keep and my gang were so intelligent, up at the top of the tank getting bloodworms that should’ve been for top-feeders and they missed but they worked out it was much less work if they pinched them than fight with their buds on the floor! Great idea to add more to your original ones then :D Cories are amazing little fish, such happy and outgoing little things!

And @GPTV ‘s beautiful old gal is a stunning Pleco! ❤️❤️The same age as my little baby sister! :)) x
 
This made me smile as I'm sweltering at my work laptop today.

I was off last week and I'm part time so today's the first August day I've worked and when I'm adding a three-month deadline to a marker...

It's November. Just three months away 🌫⛄️🌨❄️❄️❄️ I feel better already 🤣
 
I got back from holiday yesterday, (socially distanced on a remote beach a few hours away), and I missed my piggies so much (although I was only away for two days). Today they have been being really sweet and I missed them so much 🥰🥰🥰.

The carbuncle that was our 31 year old leaking conservatory has been demolished. Groundwork’s in progress for a whole new structure. I can’t tell you how pleased I am to see it gone. View attachment 150702View attachment 150703

I can see why you call it a carbuncle! An Edwardian style conservatory sounds much nicer and more practical. Hope they get it done quickly for you so you can enjoy some of this summer in it 🌞

It seems churlish to wish away the hot weather, when we usually all look forward to our sunny summer beach holidays and days out, but this heat is just too much ... if as Donald Trump says these recent weather extremes aren't due to global warming, I dread to think what it will be like when global warming does kick in!

Beautiful fishies! :luv: Haha I can imagine with the tetras! Toothless the Pleco is absolutely gorgeous:wub: And Thing 2, love it!:))XD
I’m the worst person to advise with names! I had Lord and Lady Rainbow for a decade, not exactly too original!:))

Don’t be sorry, think I started it with my carrier bag clean-out fashion pic didn’t I?! Really lovely, thanks so much :D x

Well, it didn't start out as a recipe for chilli vodka, it was a byproduct. I don't remember how the discussion started but we were talking about adding chilli to toilet paper and I pointed out that as a prank/revenge/whatever reason it was, it wouldn't work because someone's gonna notice the chilli pieces, right? And this guy came back with the chilli vodka recipe. I'll need to hunt it down again.

The pranks was told to me years ago,and no l never would do it, was on a cheating OH ,chilly cut in 1/2 and the juice wiped in his Y-fronts,

I have only once grown chilly peppers and had great success with them, so many l didn't know what to do with them, a friend said sting them up to dry, sat in my kitchen with a big pile and started to string them up using a needle and a good waxed thread,all was going well, till l pulled the tread out off the needle before I had finished using it all, had about 30 threaded at this stage with room for about the same again, l did the daftest thing out to rethread the needle,l put it in my mouth to clump the fibres together to re -thread. I had a burning line down my tongue for the rest of the day. All the chillys went in the dustbin and I have never grown them since.

Well done to your son! 👏🏾 What is he going to study?

A maths whizz! I love numbers! And maths 😁

You and youngest son will get on well then! I don't understand Maths. I was never taught the basics properly. Everytime I asked "why?" the answer was nearly always "because it is and you have to accept that"! How is that teaching a curious child who needs to learn!
