Arriving home yesterday we found Xiaolan was a bit of a state. Whilst cleaning out the fish the bowl had broken. Xiaolan and the fish were all fine so I was delighted as I've been looking for an excuse to upgrade the fish tank for a while.
Meanwhile, the fish were looking very happy in one of my mixing bowls. However, whilst eating our dinner we heard some funny noises coming from the fish. When I went to investigate a fish had flipped out of the bowl and off the table and was lying on the floor! I popped it back in and it seemed fine. I did a quick head count and discovered we were still one short! We couldn't see it anywhere then I suddenly noticed a fish staring at me from the crack where the table meets the wall! I moved the table and it slid down the wall! I couldn't work out how to pick it up and Sue suggested a fish slice!! Luckily we got it back in the bowl, then put them all in a bucket overnight.
Today we have been to the animal market and have bought the fish a new home. It is bigger and comes with greenery and stones! William and Oliver were delighted to be allowed by Nain to choose a beautiful Chinese man fishing and the obligitory bridge for the fish to swim around!
