When We Arrived Home I Decided On A Little Aquarium Maintenance,

another water change,

and a clean up of the algae on the front glass,

all looking good,

the yabbie came out for a look then went into his cave again,

nearly finished,

by this time tomorrow the aquariums will look nice and clean,

I just hope the fish appreciate it!

by now it was late, so time for our evening meal,

tonight a bar-b-q,

I tried not putting so much paper and wood on in an effort to cut down on the smoke when it first lights up,

I need not have bothered,

in a matter of moments there was smoke every where,

but eventually it caught,

so on with the food,

 tonight we started with garlic bread and marinated chicken,

which was washed down with a glass of medicinal red wine,

then after a break, sausages,

with a baked potato,

and covered with garlic onions which had been cooking in foil since we started, delicious, then inside for a film or two,

first for the evening Faszination Korallenriff in 3D, if I am honest not a great 3D film, nothing really popped out of the screen at you whilst some of the scenes were pin sharp many were quiet frankly poor, it was almost as if two people were filming, one inexperienced and with a poor quality camera the other diver the opposite, the script written by some one with out talking to what the cameraman was filming did not help, in just one instance the cameraman filmed a clown fish looking after its eggs and young, no mention of this made in the narration, I guess I should have stuck with BBC nature films!

then a real gritty drama treat, Angela's Ashes, the film is a 1996 memoir by the Irish-American author Frank McCourt, the memoir consists of various anecdotes and stories of Frank McCourt's impoverished childhood and early adulthood in Brooklyn, New York and in Limerick, Ireland, it also includes McCourt's struggles with poverty, his father's drinking issues, and his mother's attempts to keep the family alive, Angela's Ashes was published in 1996 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography, it is hard to imagine the trials that families went through in those time but this film brings it all back as it was, after that we were off to bed.
