I thought we`d have to speak soon as recently your blog`s been a bit boring.
A direct quote from N. The implication being that I need to gather some new material in order to keep this blog interesting.

Tonight J and I set up a fish tank in his bedroom.
We washed the multicoloured gravel.
Firmly imbedded the base of the plastic plant within it.
Added colourful rocks, tap water and the stuff that adjusts the chlorine levels.
And now we wait.
For approximately 5-7 days.
Apparantly the wait is to allow the whole thing to settle.
Then we`ll get a fish.
