Two weeks ago exciting things were happening in my garden. My FH had bought a new pond pump and filter, and so I could witness the installation of it. It certainly wasn't as easy as the description makes you believe it is. I had to giggle quite a lot at the "getting the electric cable inside a plastic hose" bit. But now it is all in place and working, and I have to listen to the sound of a fountain 24 hours a day. Luckily I am a bench, otherwise I'd want to run to the loo every 5 minutes. The fish are happy to be rid of the frog mess, and the fountain keeps the duckweed in the corners of the pond. Yesterday saw the arrival of two new fish. Two girls, or so they hoped. From what I can see, one of them seems to be a boy. The other one has been hiding all day, probably because it is a girl and is getting bothered too much by the boys. I hope they'll calm down again soon.
Tomorrow the youngest human in my family will turn 11. I could smell the cake all the way out here in the garden. The boy requested a cheesecake, German style, so that's what he'll get. That cake seems to be very popular. All those people who pretend to come and visit to appreciate me, they really just want a piece of that cake. I know that now. I just can't compete with cake and cute bunnies. :(
The latest generation of froggies has started to leave the pond. They are hopping all around the edge of it. And in the front garden we have a blackbird's nest with 5 chicks, who are getting quite big now. Hopefully some of them will manage to avoid being eaten by magpies and cats.
