Today we cleaned out the fish tank and will soon be getting all the water, lighting and heat ready! I've been doing lots of reading up on different kinds of fish and am struggling to make up my mind what I'd like!! A cow fish would be my ideal fish but sadly not in our tank! 

Cowfish:

Song Of The Day: Madonna - Frozen

Reason: I adore this song, it's timeless. 

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing how fast Stark can run now. He's like a horse! 

Inspiration Of The Day: Puffer fish, my latest fish desire. Super cute but feisty too.

Tomorrow the fish are going to their new home at the Walled Garden. Hopefully the weather will be ok and they'll enjoy having such a big space to swim around in with plenty of food.

Moving Tanks:

Song Of The Day: Metallica - Enter Sandman

Reason: Really intrigued to see their new film. 

Highlight Of The Day: Game Of Thrones season 1 marathon! 

Inspiration Of The Day: Wine racks as towel rails. Just need to find one small enough in the right style for my bathroom.

Today Stark was being extra annoying as he was attempting to crawl all over me and was barking at every piece of fluff whilst I was trying to do college work. I managed to get some done but it would have been a lot easier in a library with no animals!!! In other news, the fish are now eating really well and seem a lot more active. The water is still really green and cloudy but fingers crossed a few more water changes will do it. 

Big Fish:

Song Of The Day: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Reason: One of my favourite songs, so easy to relate to. 

Highlight Of The Day: Watching Starky run for his ball. He's so fast now! 

Inspiration Of The Day: 

I started re-reading one of my Point Horror books, Homecoming Queen. I love how American, cheesy and unrealistic they are.

Today we went to the Sealife Center Manchester. It's only recently opened and it's been a while since I've been to an aquarium. Now that I know a lot more about fish it's far more interesting; I'd love to be an animal keeper there!! The best thing we saw was probably the huge sea turtle that they have in their main tank. I've never seen one before and he was beautiful! The enclosures were all really nice and they had a good range of fish and sea creatures. We had a behind the scenes tour with a member of staff called Phil. He was really great and told us lots of interesting information. We also got to see a snake necked turtle which was in isolation as he was being naughty and trying to breed with another species of turtle whilst upsetting her male partner!

Today we saw the cutest kitten in work! It was so fluffy! I can't believe how big my two are now, they're little whoppers, especially Draco. This evening we've been watching more Downton Abbey. It's really good and we've gotten really into it. 

Puppy Kisses: 

Song Of The Day: Pantera - Walk

Reason: Such a timeless song. 

Highlight Of The Day: A customer saying I'd made her day by selling her some fish on her birthday! 

Inspiration Of The Day: Photos of babies pulling faces whilst eating lemons! How funny! http://twistedsifter.com/2013/08/babies-tasting-lemons-for-first-time/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Twistedsifter+%28TwistedSifter+%29

Today we gave the aquatic area in work an extra special clean. Even though I sound biased because I work there, it really is one of the nicest aquatic sections I've seen in a pet shop; good sized tanks, healthy fish, no overcrowding and nice and clean!

Fish Tanks:


Song Of The Day: Coldplay - Trouble
Reason: Randomly stuck in my head!

Highlight Of The Day: A really nice pub tea with my Dad and his girlfriend.

Inspiration Of The Day: Laughter is the key to a 'placid' life!

Today we went up to High Leigh garden center as I was told they have a good aquatic section. It does have a really good selection, especially the marine fish, there were even seahorses!! I can't wait to save up and get our own aquarium, I'd love a huge biorb!!

Song Of The Day: Fiona Apple - Criminal
Reason: It's been my ringtone for ages but I still love it!

Highlight Of The Day: Visiting The Range for some home shopping!

Inspiration Of The Day: Marine tanks, so beautiful and worth all the hard work!

Today was day two of my new job. I'm still loving it! Today we got a fish delivery, so we had to go through a process to settle the fish into their new tanks in store. The fish were really striking, especially the 4 Chinese fighting fish that came in. There were also some teeny, tiny frogs and a black axolotl. I'm definitely be doing more research into fish as they're really interesting and they're something I don't really know a lot about. When I got home, Asami acted strange all evening. She constantly meowed for food, even though she'd had her tea already, which is really unlike her. I hope she's just having a funny day rather than feeling unwell.

Watching. Waiting:


Song Of The Day: Will Smith - Gettin' Jiggy Wit It.
Reason: Such an amazing song! Still so good now, it hasn't aged at all! I remember having it on tape.

Highlight Of The Day: Spending time around the fish.

Inspiration Of The Day: The axolotl. It has the ability to regenerate it's limbs!

Today we went shopping at Tesco for something for tea. We decided we fancied some fish so stopped at the fresh fish counter to pick something up. I spotted this fish, I think it was a trout, with it's mouth open! It had teeny tiny teeth and what looked like a tongue! Who knew fish had tongues?! It reminds me of the screaming goat YouTube video that's been doing the rounds!

Who Knew Fish Had Tongues?:


Song Of The Day: Taylor Swift (Featuring the screaming goat) - I Knew You Were Trouble
Reason: Just watch the video, I don't need to explain.


Highlight Of The Day: Home cooked surf and turf, with steak and river cobbler!

Inspiration Of The Day: Death Masks! I really want one!

Today I seemed to do a lot but don't seem to have a lot to show for it. This afternoon we went to Ikea to pick up some legs for our bathroom cabinet (and to have hotdogs), called at the pet shop to look at some fish that I want, went to the Butterfly Chinese Restaurant in Stockton Heath for tea, called at Toys R Us to get some sea monkeys, popped into Next to pick up a gift and then called in to see my Mum at work! But all I have to show for my day are some cabinet legs, a rail and my sea monkey kit!

Hotdog:


Song Of The Day: Avril Lavigne - Fall To Pieces
Reason: One of the ultimate broken heart songs

Highlight Of The Day: A nice meal out.

Inspiration Of The Day: Tropical Fish! In particular the strange looking ones. The uglier the better. I really want to be able to go scuba diving somewhere with lots of fish and sea creatures in the near future.
