This gift is from Steven and Rachael. It now takes pride of place underneath my Pergola area and I welcomed it with open arms. To have ‘fish’ here at home feels so right. My Husband had a love affair with fish from about 5 years of age, as did our son. Their main interest was catching then with a view to eating – but not always.
My little piscatorial pals greeted me this morning with such zest they nearly threw themselves over the top – pleased to see me – well it would have been lovely if they had but of course they were hungry and just looking for their breakfast but I can handle that :)

We were in touch on AP a few months ago, and I have not the faintest idea of what I said. I only recall a feeling of great sympathy. I could not see on here any more sensible place to communicate, save this fish site (I have friends in France who have same carp and one enormous one did manage to hurl itself out of the pond).
My father knew GBS and also Brooke, but I thought to cheer you up in case you needed it. If you look on AP, read my poems 'Boo!' and 'I' and 'Venus and Mars' and the comments - in particular, the comments.
More directly, and I hope not upsettingly, did you know that the last words of Socrates were that he ought to bathe before taking the poison, to save the women the trouble, and then 'I owe a cock to Asclepius; do not forget to pay it'. Or King George V 'Bugger Bognor'. Abu Nuwas (Edward)
Edwards, thank you so much for your interesting comment.What name do you use on AP so that I may track the poems you mention here?
