Ok people ... your talking to a virgin ponder here from Ireland here.... yesterday I bought 7 goldfish to test my new pond. I Called them “THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN". I allowed them to acclimatise by leaving them in the bag in the water and then introducing them into the pond as one should. That was last night... this morning they are gone... can you believe it... the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN are gone.
Now I know I am a virgin at this pond/fish stuff but I expected they might have at least lasted 24 hours before they either died.....went on their holidays.... hibernated..... Or went off to save some peasant village from marauding sharks. They were just gone... all seven of them... I spent 5 years putting this pond together. I built it from the ground up and put a glass panel in the side so I could watch them at night from the conservatory. I gave them everything they could wish for, plants, gravel to play in, I even put a romanesk like statue of a woman in a toga on the bottom protruding from the gravel, …. She was naked from the waste up and the most beautiful face and skin with her arms raised so that her bare breasts hung in a way that………… …. Anyway im sure you get the point…… They didn't even say good bye, not even a "WAVE". I even had a surprise welcome home party organised for them today. Anyway.. if I have enough money im going to see if I can I go to some impoverished country....tell them I am a celebrity... pay the right money to the right people and to try and adopt some more fish. .....Alternatively some one out there could tell me how to stop a scavenging, blood sucking leach (and no imp not talking about a politician) of a heron from raiding my pool.
