Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

Another Quite Day At 388
Diana decided that she wanted a few pictures of the fish on her phone,
so it was get comfortable in front of the tank and fire away!
the fish are getting quite big now,
with one exception they all naturally occur in Lake Malawi, out of interest the lake occupies one fifth of the country’s total area and is the third largest lake in Africa, at over 350 miles long, it is 1550ft (470m) above sea level, in the north it is quite extraordinarily deep: 2300ft (700m), plunging well below sea level, this reflects the enormity of the natural faulting of the Great Rift Valley which is the origin of the Lake itself,then out to buy some of our favorite chicken soup, two days ago the heat was unbearable, even for us, so that night we switched on the air conditioner in the bed room, guess what? the one night we wanted it there was not a hint of cold in the air it gave out, but next door a firm was re-gassing the air-cons there so we had them fix ours, result, the same day the heavens opened up, temperature fell, so no need for the air-con, today looking into the distance more rain clouds, I know, I should not have had the air con fixed, I guess it is the same as when Diana washes the truck, it always rains the next day!
then in a pleasant surprise Glenn called to say he was in town for a couple of days, so he called round for a drink and a chat, we also had a bite to eat then he was off to hit the town, Monday is going to be another quite day, hopefully Wattana will call round to fix my computer/printer problem, then off to the dentist for a bit more work on the root canal, feet up then watch the next instalment of "The Tudors"
