NO FISHIN` !

Hello everyone, 

Jim returned home last night from his fishing trip at 9pm, so I thought he must have had a good day......Oh no he didn`t.  Not even slightly good....more like TERRIBLE!

The only fish he caught was about 3 inches long and not worth the bother of landing. He said is is worried about the lake itself.  He says the water level is too low and there were dead fish floating on the surface which is always a bad sign, apparently.  He said it`s a sign of low oxygen in the water.  Some lakes , he went on, have generators that pump oxygen into the water, keeping the fish more alert and healthy. Also the sight of dead fish will keep anglers away from that particular lake,

In the photo above, the is a carp swimming right by the place that Jim fishes from, and that was the nearest he got to one all day.  Next time he goes fishing, he will definitely be going somewhere else!

This morning when I was sweeping the kitchen floor I felt something sharp in my foot. I`d trodden on a tiny piece of glass that had got into my slipper. I then removed it gingerly, being careful not to push it in any further.   Yesterday I broke a bottle of wine all over the kitchen floor.  I thought I`d got all of the glass up but obviously not. I must add that I don`t drink wine for breakfast.  It`s just that I keep the wine rack in the kitchen!

Today we walked Jake to the back field where we met a woman walking her dog.  She had her arm in a sling and it turned out that she has just had the same operation as me.  She asked me how long it took me to get back to normal and I said it would be a little while yet.  I hadn`t the heart to tell her that it hadn`t worked.  Later we went to lunch at the garden centre cafe. This time we took Kerry with us as she has a few days off work.  After lunch we went to see Jim`s Mum at the nursing home. kerry was quite shocked at how she has worsened since she last saw her a couple of months ago. It is quite sad that she doesn`t recognise any of us anymore.  We can only visit her and talk to her and see that she is well, nothing more.  After that, we went to see Jim`s sister who was overjoyed to see how Kerry has expanded!  We stayed for a couple of hours then came home to a meal of fresh fish, caught by Jim`s fair hand on the sea trip last week.  Needless to say, it was delicious!

I have to go now and finish off reading the journals. But before I go was anyone else surprised at yesterday`s VERDICT ?  Have a lovely day, Bye for now. :-)
