After the sad passing of our fish, Cat Snack, the Gizzy and Pipe have been complaining that their water is flavourless (and if mum gets to drink flavoured water of her choice - usually blackcurrant - why the heck can't they have their fishy-flavouring??).

Oh yeah - for anyone who isn't familiar with our house and/or our cats and/or our stories thereof... The cats drink from a fish bowl. They never attack the fish, they just prefer the fishy water over plain.

So we finally gave in to them and got them two more fishies. Chris named them after the preceeding occupant of their bowl. It was better than calling them both Anton like all five fish in the pond (no offense, Anton - we just can't have 7 fish named after you!)

Needless to say, Pipe is very pleased with the new additions to the family... As per when Snack (the first!) originally arrived, Pipe spends absolutely ages just sitting there and staring at them. Gizzy appreciates the fine flavouring of the water.

Apart from that, had a pretty good weekend... Went to see a movie, had dinner with an old friend of loml's, went walkies up Mt. Majura (where chris REALLY proposed to me) and spent some time setting up sipphone again so that we can talk while he's in Canada and the USA over the next few weeks for OLS and work.
