Straight On To Today's Post,

and apologies for it being late,

 first thing I was off early and when I return there was no power and our lap top needed a battery charge, but better late then never, first stop the fish and cheep shop on Third Road for some silicone rubber sealant, one of our aquariums had stated leaking around a now disused filter system pipe,

 next a stoop at the glass shop to buy a couple of pieces pf glass to seal the bulkhead where the now unused pipe went through into the filter compartment,

 but first Arry called round, something had failed in the kitchen light department, 5 lights had failed to light, a bulb had blown but replacing it did not solve the problem, this is what it turned out to be, the on/off switch had shorted so new one was installed, all of this with out turning the power off,

 but Arry was no fool, he used the coconut sweeper to isolate himself from getting an electric shock, even offering to turn the power off he preferred the standing on the sweeper,

 I had to drain half of the aquarium water,

 and glue the glass I had bought to both sides of the now unused filter box,

keeping it in place till the silicone cures in a couple of days, I will then refill it hoping that the leak will be cured, 

after our evening meal we watched some satellite television, a couple from Columbo, a couple from Cheers, then for us we were off to bed.
