Aaaww and Ah

One of the Fredettes has introduced us to its family. Eleven tiny balls of fluff and cheep. Aaawww. TB was out back when they all arrived and went to investigate. Got cluttered at. Have never seen so much to-ing fro-ing as 11 enchanting miniature birds can achieve when they really try.

Crow has not returned so TB needs something to keep it occupied.

Daughter went out to get 2 baby goldfish for the kitchen tank and returned with rather more than we expected: Grown up koi. For the pond. (And 3 tinies for the kitchen.) Floated them in their bags for an hour to acclimatise and She and I admired them unendingly. One is bronze with a golden head and back stripe. The other is half red, half white. Very pretty. When He released them they hid in the weed and haven't been seen since. Ah.
