Last week we spent an hour or two in Bury St. Edmund's, with friend Hilary, who knew of an
'Aquatic Centre' there. Hilary's garden is in Highdale town centre and is much the same size as ours (i.e. miniscule). However her garden pond is rather larger than ours. Ours is about eighteen inches across, and is in fact, an old horse bucket sunk into the ground, and surrounded by stones. To cut a long story reasonably short, we both bought a water hyacinth and some small goldfish. Hilary also bought a small electric powered fountain. The young man in charge (knowledgeable and obliging young chap) gave us a 'special price' on five small goldfish, and in view of Hilary's rather larger pond, she took three of the fish and we took two.

So I didn't take anymore notice of him yesterday evening, and this morning he was trying really hard to get my attention and please me. I think perhaps I am finally beginning to understand computers and their annoying ways (?)
