Considering it was time-lapse, I see I seem to be stuck in the around the same place for ages !!

I reckon you were up to your second best attribute, Ian - jawing to someone.

John

Possibly. Ummmm.....maybe....ummm, well, Justine is always saying that: but hark at her.

But I recon my excuse here was trying to rid that peat flocculation from my Betta or Killie tanks.
Serves me right for using peat and mud instead of gravel.

In my opinion theres far to much sitting around going on.

Just wanted to post a thanks to all the people behind the show - it was really excellent, lots of entries and some great ideas for adding a little extra here and there.

Also - (I presume this was Ian or HSI) - fantastic display of frogs that really caught the attention of the rest of the family!

Having seen the show back in action - I'll definitely enter something next time around.

Jim.

Coming soon .........
