As Promised The Gardeners Arrived,

to start work on trimming back the hedge between us and the property next door,


the hedge was about 3 feet taller than it should be, 

and needed a trim all along it, 

also the end tidied up,

the tools of the trade,

soon work began,

one worker on both sides of the hedge,

at the close of play it was starting to look a lot better, just the other half to go, the other job today was to let the 'Man with a Van', into the cellar to remove all of the rubbish that had collected there from previous tenants which they had abandoned, after waiting an hour they were called, the reply? "Crikey I forgot all about this booking, I am in North London now, can I call in tomorrow?", a good job I did not have to arrange for a day off work! as it happens it was Diana's day off, so she spent that getting all of the paperwork together for her visa to say in the UK, mountains of paperwork, over 200 pages has to be submitted, 

whilst Diana was busy with that, in the afternoon I decided to make another small video of our travels in Bangkok where we visited Chatuchak live fish market, so here is number 10 in the series, in this one we continued to look at some of the more unusual fish like stingrays, these are all freshwater and come from South America, next a general fish store, but it has a huge selection of guppies in bowls, some of the fish in the aquatic trade are artificially coloured, so I videoed some of them as well as some examples of albinism in fish, lastly we look at a store selling lake Malawi and Tanganyika cichlids, some are kept in individual aquariums to stop them from fighting, Diana finished her paperwork, so we watched The Chase, as she relaxed with a coffee, after our evening meal it was a episode from Aussie Gold Hunters before a BattleBots followed by a Endeavour, after which Diana was off to bed, for myself a Have I Got More News For You, before I too was off to bed.
