    Another wee shame in the aquarium; 2nd snail appears to be a goner.

    After 24 hours of no movement, chucked the invertebrate into the bin then read they can retreat into their shell for a while so retrieved from bin and put back into water. Still nothing...:(

    Jury rigged a 12V water-pump so water changes are no much simpler and less disturbing to fish as no need to pour from a bucket.

    Having a rethink over the planting at rear of garden (far fence, which faces north) as the climbers are hopeless, even russian vine looks threadbare.

    Our cats are really grumpy today/ tonight, wailing in the way only grumpy Siamese can. :( They have good, water and seem to not be missing limbs. ( though if they keep wailing.....)

    Alfie room looks good, does that colour help with the proportions of that room too? Mind you, I love the way that house looks over the garden like that, its got such light. And the sun room is really a 'proper' reception room, not what many call a sun room. :)
