…I have not blogged for a while anyway but i shall just confirm i shall not be blogging here again until i can be bothered. I will however be blogging pictures from my camera phone here.

…another tattoo but i’m having difficulty making a decision. What i want is an angel i have found a fantastic set of wings but need a female to attach them to-

Tattoo by Ken at Tattoo Station

…some more pictures of trees that give me inspiration when doing bonsai-

although the crown of this tree looks messy, there is definite symmetry.

And i would really like to get buttressing like this on one of my bonsai.

…a year! How did i manage it? I started the blog but never thought it would last, and to be honest most of the input is complete garbage but the occasional diamond post has made it all worth while.

…enough to have the wife to take wonderful pictures for me. I was just going to update on the flowerhorn-

Who is starting to colour up lovely, however as usual the wife managed to get an almost complete set from the main tank-

Still together!

She didn’t however get a pic of the my new addition a tyretrack eel but that is to be expected as it spends most of it’s time hiding under a rock. If you click on the tyretrack eellink you will get an in depth description of the eel from a fantastic site i have just found called Badmans Tropical Fish.

It’s all about getting the canopy shape.  A whole lot better than last year.

…do while waiting for a swing to become available?

Whinge? Cry? Shout?

Or do you invent a new game-

Drawing in the chipped bark. Aren’t kids ingenious.

…worse than indecision. In ths case it is to do with fish.

To keep or not to keep…

I really want to have a go at marine fish…

It’s all about letting go!

…L001 gold nugget plec-

He’s not a shy fish and he is a very efficient cleaner!

The wife has done a wonderful slideshow of the children and Bernie bear

…is spending the Easter holidays at Chez Charlton. He is a special bear who appears to have gone everywhere in his time with Abigails reception class. However here is a special one of him looking at the fish in the lobby of Chez Charlton-

not the best pic i know, but he is always on the go and i only just managed to snap this on the phone.
