not any more, sorry

[Quak]

Have a lovely time hun, sounds like a great night - you won't need luck (I presume that's about avoiding tomatoes?), you'll be fine xxx

No, I was fine with tomatoes as I was driving, drank an inordinate amount of water though! The luck was for meeting up with old neighbours - long story lol - but it went fine

I would go for the fish Lisa but then I'm in the process of setting up a new tank right now after not having one in over a year.

A fortnight might be a bit too long Bren. Do you not have someone who could pop in after a week to feed them to tide them over until you get home?

Yes we do, bro-in-law can pop in for us to give them a feed when we need him to.

We've decided against the tank a friend was selling as it's too big but have seen a smaller one which would be perfect. Going to another aquatic place tomorrow for further research but saw some fab boggle eyed black goldfish today which looked like velvet! Jo I'll send you a link on FB for another friends business.

You going for coldwater fish then Lisa?


Well, still managing on TFR, think I must be in ketosis as not really hungry until I think it must be a mealtime lol - missing the booze today, especially sitting out in the sunshine, the two seem to go hand in hand, how are you coping with that Lisa?
I did have a small glass of coke zero but its not the same lol

Speaking of mealtime, soup time xxx

Yes, cold water. We found a great tank that we both liked in the first shop this morning then decided we liked the look of the bio-orbs in the second shop but the price was too high so went for a coffee in the third shop and decided to wait until after our holiday. Got home and had a click around ebay and found the same one that we liked this morning, collection only, 25 mins from home. A quick chat with the seller later and we're collecting tomorrow morning
Well done on sticking with it. I've been fine without tomatoes but cooked lamb shanks in red wine so there's now half a bottle in the kitchen. I may have a glass, I may not.

 

[Quak]

ooooo lamb shanks - dammit lol xxx

 

[Dietkitty]

Oops sorry I forgot! How was the soup?

 

[Quak]

Fine, had tomato and basil with added chilli flakes - yummy

 

[Dietkitty]

Bleurgh! I hated all the soups which surprised me cos I liked all the LL ones.
Right we're going to watch a film now. Chat soon xx

 

[Quak]

Enjoy your film xxxxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Great news about the tank Lisa - and well done on sticking with the soups, Bren - actually sounds nice.

I am really craving proper tomatoes at the moment - they're on the B list, I think aren't they - after the 2 mugs of green leafies?

 

[Quak]

Yes they are, just watch them as they are carbier than some veg - as long as you count them you should be fine xxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

I've never really counted carbs properly - am going to be strict after Limone - after a week of indulgence. Limoncello, gelato, vino, maybe even a bit of pasta (will probably be hard to avoid!) - then back to it!

 

[Quak]

Pasta is notoriously hard to avoid in Italy - enjoy!!! xxx

 

[ladyfelsham]

When are you off on hols, hun? Couple of weeks isn't it?

 

[Quak]

Yep, Gran Canaria - will be there this time in 2 weeks

 

[Jim]

Morning Bren, remember, we want loads of pics.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

We went for a cute black goggle eyed fish Lisa... a black moor for our little tank... 3 tanks later this fish is now over 8 inches long!!! Check what size yours will grow too as ours has been an expensive pet!

Morning Bren... hows yr weekend been? x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning Bren, how's the lurgy today hun?

 

[Dietkitty]

Fish that I've had before only grew to fit the tank but they were tropical. They were also canibals and when we combined 2 tanks due to a leak all the small ones had been eaten next morning!

 

[Quak]

Afternoon all, quietish weekend due to the lurgy Linz, had a couple of gigs (left the missus at home for the 2nd one as she was too poorly to go out) but I enjoyed it anyway. Lots of sunbathing yesterday, just have to pop out now to get some white spot treatment to finish off what I started and then more sunbathing when I get back.

Talk to you all later folks - be good xxxx

 

[Quak]

Morning Bren, how's the lurgy today hun?

Not much change unfortunately, but will get through it xxx

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Too bloomin' windy here to sunbathe!!
