I haven't been online much lately because I'm really busy catching up with paperwork. The usual things - company year end, vat return - just what you need in the run up to Christmas.

Mark has been busy pollarding willows, cutting back trees and working on the drawings for our new house. He's also managed to fit in a quick trip to Chicago for his nephew's christening!

We've taken a few fish pics over the last few days too. Here are a couple of my favourites.

At this age it's still difficult to tell the sex with some fish, the Shiro above didn't feel like a boy although the body shape looks male - can't be 100% sure either way at this stage with this particular fish. We'll just have to take another look in the spring

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi
