Summat Fishy going on...





There was definitely something fishy going on today as we got to grips (literally!) with the fish tank! It was something we purchased from the previous owner of the house. He was obviously fully aware of how difficult it is to move and so was more than happy to sell it to us. We knew that Matt and Sharron were after one and so we got it for their house by way of a thank you for having us there for three months.

Starting at 9am we drained the water and caught the fish (I'm suprised that anglers don't use plastic buckets... I had some sucess!), Matt, Beth and I then spent the rest of the morning cleaning all the glass, gravel, rocks, stones, filters and pipes. It was then time for the big move although we did have to call in the reinforcements to help lift the now empty tank... it was heavy being over six feet in length! Safely in the car Matt, Joel (No not the little one... Matt's friend!) pushed the tank upstairs. In its new home it will look stunning and we hope that the Walkers @ Gardners Street get a lot of enjoyment from it.

We were finished at around 6pm... Matt then help us move some living room furniture and its almost sorted. IKEA on Sunday then some pictures for you... honest!
