Lots To Do & No Time To Do It……
Life near the beach, too many distractions.!?

Hubby has sent me an excellent link to KULER. The site enables you to upload images like the one above and create a colour palette. I made this one.

This is a great tool. I have posted it on the college VLE site for my fashion students to use when they create their own mood boards.

The kitchen is complete…. nearly, only the curtains to make and hang the curtain rail, can do the rail but the curtains are something I can’t get involved with.

The trip to the Gold Fish Bowl was good, we now have six more platties, in yellow this time. On advice we also now have seven shrimps to help with the algae clean up we will see what happens. On the shopping list was some strip water testing kits which we tried before letting out the new fish and the results were spot on. This we will check again in a weeks time to see if everything hads adapted to the extra fish. The plants have been potted up and are looking good, well I think so.

Thats about it at the moment, trying to arrange our summer holiday and jobs that need doing whilst the weather is fine, if that ever happens.

The weather that is not the intentions of the week they are all going a bit pear shaped. Poor fish another week in dirty water eating my plants. Off to The Goldfish Bowl at the week end for fish, chemicals for the water and something to plant the plants in. This may sound daft but we have slate in the base of our tank with black sand. For the amount of plants we would like there isn’t enough sand so if we pot the plants they will be healthier I hope.

Finishing the kitchen painting is top priority for the rest of the week. This is an on going problem starting something running out of what we need to finish then putting it to the back of the list of things to do. Untill someone is coming to stay then it races to the front again!

I should have known that the colour I picked up a week ago would be one to have… Spent the weekend decorating the kitchen and ran out of paint? All the shops in a twenty mile radious have no stocks of this one colour they have all the other colours in the range but not the one we choose.. so half the kitchen finished and put back and the other half to complete. Oh well… it will have to wait now for a couple of weeks. As Im not going out specially to find they still haven’t any in stock.

It leaves time to do other things like cleaning out the fish. Only have one now all on its own in a large tank. Do they get lonely? Best not leave it that way too long, don’t realy want an empty tank. Can you buy fish on line? I shall find out……….
