JON'S JOURNAL: Home again

We have been away since Sunday, and only got back at some ridiculous hour last night.

For the last week we have been staying with my eldest stepdaughter Shosh at her house in Staffordshire, and have been largely indoors, hence the fact that there have been no updates to this series because I haven't been anywhere to do any significant Nature Study.

When I got home last night I was pleased to see that the big southeast Asian fishtank in my study looks magnificent! It has been looking a little shoddy for some weeks, and when he was here Max suggested that it needed a filter with more ooomph. Said filter was duly ordered and installed last Saturday. When we returned last night it had certainly done its magic!

Just look at this brief clip of Max's Ctenopoma weeksii - otherwise known as the mottled bushfish, an unjustifiably obscure species from the Congo basin. I am really chuffed!
