The Short Epic

...
Starting with a cute picture:



Today is a good day. It started at unholy o'clock but I got loads of work done in the first hour, I'va managed to cross a ton of stuff off my "To Do" list and generally have a very positive head on. Hoping to get some important travel packs finished today and handed out, then they're off my mind and off my list :o)

Last night one of the cannister filters (the one for the cichlid tank) was leaking all over the floor and behind the lovely cabinet that G built. Instead of spending a nice relaxing evening eating dinner and watching a movie, Garry spent the evening trying to make the filter cannister not leak all over the floor, he got very wet, dripped on lots and was very late in bed :o( He's starting to feel the late nights, and there have been some really tough days at work as well, so I think it's gentle, restful night for both of us tonight.

Luckily, the fish don't usually require this much in the way of crisis management, but lately we've had the seam split on the old cichlid tank, two heaters burn out (one with tragic consequences) and now the filter business as well. It seems that when things go wrong they do it all at once. I won't state my hopes for fear of bring the attention of the fates onto us, but I bet you can guess what I'm hoping...

Today I have booked our campsites for the trip darn sarf in July, I'm really looking forward to it and have been collecting a couple of extra bits of kit to make things a bit more comfy. I'm hoping we'll be able to camp more over the summer this year, since last year was rather wet!!

Well, that's about my lot, it's nearly 2pm so I'll be getting cut off by Websense in a few minutes. Hope everyone is ok.
