Carpe diem...

Not when they're assembled into a contiguous fifteen hour youtube video......

stick it up in the Tate gallery as an "installation" and get working on your Turner Prize acceptance speech. Better.get some Bohemian clothing as well as there are standards an artist must uphold

Prof, there has to be a load of guff written before artists install their pieces.... wordy passages full of symbolism and angst drawing on the artist's struggle to find true meaning in the imagery, exploring the narrative of how it empowers our spiritual need to overcome conflict ...a metaphor of modern society. Then, and only then, can it be displayed as true art.

joking aside - did anyone else see the monster shipping container in total darkness in the Tate?
I thought it was great ! Quite what it meant, i anything, Idon't know, but good fun all the same

Hold your hands up and admit it's a fair cop.

In summer, if the pond is full its not unusual to see a pigeon sit on the side to try to get a sip of water and have a koi suprise them, crocodile style.

Pond looks pretty new ?

I dug it in 2001.

not much in the way of algae build up.

It used to, but about 6 years ago we changed from the traditional type of filter to an Evolution Aqua Easy 200 filter.

2 rules for healthy fish...

1-Do not overfeed them (Not easy when they hand feed and come over every time you go near them)
2-Clean the filter regularly. The old one was made in-accessible when Ma and Pa redesigned the garden, it had a decking cover over it that made cleaning and flushing a real chore. The easy takes 2 minutes to start cleaning, leave it to it for 15 minutes, pull the drain, refill, and you`re done.

........but what happens if it is still cr@p?

Then it's dead in the water... ie, still carp.

On a slightly more serious note, fish do tend to explore things with their mouths. If you dive, it can be disconcerting at first to find a school of fish - or even a single large fish - having a 'nibble'...

I have one of my buddy feeding the fish in Crapnrainy ( capernwray) and she gets nipped by them quite often. they love sweetcorn
