Frogs

Tom was woken up earlier the other morning by some weird sounds coming from downstairs ~ he wasn't sure what it was but as it continued he got up to go investigate ~ it turned out to be his tropical fish tank there was only a couple of inches of water left at the bottom ~ the rest had seeped out ~ he thought it had a leak so brought the fish round here to put into our tank until he investigated what was wrong with his ~

as you can see from the picture above among his fish were two underwater frogs (I had never seen these before ~ in fact I had never heard of them before) they are minute and facinating to watch ~ they search all over the tank  from the bottom among the rocks and then seem to float to the top ~ can you see him ?

This is the picture seen from my bedroom window the other morning the sun was so bright I couldn't look at it 
 but a beautiful sight to start off the day

Note the frost on the front lawn it has been like that for the last three or 4 days ~ and is very very cold ~ so I am off to put some more logs on the fire so it is lovely and cosy indoors ~

Thankyou Donna for my opening Graphic ~you can find Donna on my sidebar

Twelve days to go

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucky has made herself at home and loves getting into boxes ~ she now gets on well with Joy's other cats and everyone loves her she is such a cute little kitty ~ her favourite passtime at the moment is bringing leaves in from the garden and  she piles them up on the floor in front of Tim ~ on several occassions she has brought spiders in and drops them on the floor ~ just so long as she dosn't give them to me because they are still alive ~  

 

Lyn decorated our smaller Christmas tree and it looks very pretty ~ It lights up and changes colour ~ don't know if we are going to put the big one up this year ~

 

Still have a bit of Christmas shopping to do ~ yesterday we went and bought the Turkey ~ Ham ~ Beef and a Chicken ~ The Turkey was too big to go in our freezer so until we need it it is in Lyn's friends Chest Freezer ~ neither of us gave it a thought it might be too big ~

 

 

visit to the Seaside

 

I think at long last I have managed to load some pictures ~ I may have won my battle with 'File Manager'

The Photo's are some taken last month ~ the weather was really horrible ~ the rain only eased off  for a short time ~

We didn't have any trouble finding a parking space though ~ as all the sensible people had stayed at home ~

Am now going to try and comment on some journals that I have not been able to ~ I have been able to read them OK  ~
