Phew! is it windy or what? Not doing anything specific today, apart from walking the dog.
Whilst writng this I'm listening to a rock band called 'BURN', it's a long time since I last listened to a whole album, this one is an every track viable album as far as I'm concerned! www.burn.uk.com is their website, it has of course got to be played at as near full volume as your head can take LOL!
Well, the rest of the day is clearing out/cleaning up time, recycling anything not needed of course.
I have been missing my fish since I moved here21 months ago. So I got one of those 'terrace' ponds ( I think they mean Patio ponds), it is basically a round 60cm x 30cm deep plastic bowl with a flat bottom. In it I've planted a violet blue Iris, four paver bricks,and a miniature yellow waterlily. There's also some floating water soldier plants. Six fish in all, three Goldfish and three Shabunkins, all are only 2-3 inches long. The pond surround is wooden in an octagonal shape with a flat ledge which the cats like to sit on and sunbathe or take a drink from the pond. Guarding the fish is Herbert the plastic Heron!
I promise to take some photos of the pond, Herbert and bits of my borrowed garden just as soon as the wind calms down.
The allotment is not to be, I just couldn't face the hard slog to get it viable, so growing some spuds in a pot, beans,peas, and other veg in pots too around the garden. Maybe next Autumn I'll have another bash at the allotmenteering....

Hows Herbert the plastic heron -I keep looking and would love to see your new patio pond - sounds delightful.
I bet the fish are getting bigger now.
Are they all right in it over winter - i.e. will the water freeze or is it insulated
Hope all is well your end
