Something Fishy

I know I live in my own little world but after all the woes I've had to suffer over the last few days something brought a smile back to my face. Behind me are some flowers which I bought as my little post-op 'Cancer Garden' to tend and enjoy whilst I did my chemo. That was 2017 and the pots here I left out in winter died but I still have one flowering away as I take it inside. At the same time I had my concrete pond repaired so I could keep some fish again. Most of the first eight just died but I had more success with the next six. But I was a little perplexed as having eight goldfish swimming around all day and night with nothing else on their minds apart from food and sex I was hoping for some little ones too but nothing. But this-afternoon when I looked in the pond there was a tiny fish darting around and too quick for the hungry mouths. I have to say I'm delighted for any fool can go to the pet shop and buy some more but it's much more satisfying to have my own especially as it replaces one of the eight that the heron killed through the netting last Autumn. No I haven't had a single baby fish or as they should be called fry since the 1990's so it is quite an occasion. Maybe my luck is changing the next thing I've got to get sorted is the post-tumble constipation lol.
