That's funny Havilah. Don't know if you ever worked boxed puzzles, but when I was doing them a long time ago, every once in a while a piece or two would go missing. Well I would eventually find them on the floor and lo and behold there were little teeth marks on them. Can you say hello kitty!
The most colorful tropical fish I ever came across is the green mandarin. He has so many colorful patterns I thought it was a made up picture but I googled him and sure enough, he really is a riot of colors. This little guy is so sweet. They have salt water tanks at the eye doctor's and one fish loves to swim into the current caused by the
filter pump. That's his spot and he chases the other fish away.
Have a lovely day/peaceful night everyone. It's sunny here, and the snow is fresh. Just beautiful. It lifts up the soul.
Wow! Thanks Pixipixil, I googled Green Mandarin fish. He's really colorful. Did you think his head looked like a frog? I looked at several pics and thought the same in all of them.

Thank you for praying or my brother. The initial stages of setting up treatment went so well they began ahead of schedule. I haven't gotten any more news but he says it's all been without pain or illness so far.

I'm glad you folks enjoyed seeing the fish. I wish I had lots of money to pay someone to make a wall of salt water tank. I love the colorful and weird stuff under the ocean. No I won't go scuba diving. The ocean is so unpredictable and huge I would never enjoy it. I'd love to have cuttle fish that change colors and flash and that poison octopus with the flashing blue circles. (Too bad it's deadly but I'd only look at it through the glass. )

I Googled it, and I agree that it is extremely colourful! :D
Yeah I am awake long enough to do the puzzle (thanks team for another interesting puzzle) and also make a comment before bed, and get a silver placeing for a short while before all you wizz kids wake up and knock me off the pedastal(ups not sure of the spelling) trust you all wake up to a sunny day we are still desperate for rain and the poor sheep cattle etc are really suffering, we have been declared a draught area the first since 1952. Very sad as we live in a dairy area.
So sorry to hear that you have been that desperate for rain. Hope to hear that your situtation has changed for the better soon. Perhaps if we all prayed for rain like we did for aussiesapphaire, you would get your rain. I for one will start and ask God to bless your area with the rain you need to sustain life.

Did enjoy the puzzle, but am finding the comments too interesting to pass up. Thanks to the staff for giving us something to gather around.

Just said a prayer for rain for your area. Hope your cattle are soon blessed by all the rain they need, both to drink and to raise up the food they need to eat.

Thanks you to the ones who are praying for rain, we don't own a farm but we are surrounded by them but we do rely on rain for our water when we first bought the house we put in an extra water tank and that has been worth it's wheight in gold.

Slippers, I will pray for rain for you and then maybe God will re-route all the rain that is falling in the u. K. At present, I would like to know have you have all manage in a drought area for 60 years.

Hi slippers, you can have some of ours but will pray it will head your way. Everything here is now lush and green and supposed to be another week of intermittent rain. Take care and God bless.

Finally got a nice sunny day slippers and hope you have had rain by now. All my towels are hanging on the clothes line after waiting for about a week to wash them. They will come in smelling so fresh.

Ditto! To you aussie sapphire, out in Bribie. Aren't you tired of these stupid rain showers all the time? My front lawn is still mushy & really needs a mow, but it's too damp still. Nice to see some sun at least for awhile today. Have a good sunday! Cheers from Bray Park.

Hello Jaffacat, Mine is the same but really still to wet to mow, but nice to see it all green and everything beginning to bloom so well. I have a lovely collection of sun jewels and they are spectacular at the moment.

Sun jewels? Some kind of pretty flower??

Hi Aussiesaphire! Just looked up "sun Jewels". They are a lovely flower. May have to try some if I can find them in the our area.

Hi Jaffacat and mountainmama. Sun Jewels are from the portulaca family and while portulaca are annuals, sun jewels are perennials and self sow, so really only need a punnet of seedlings to get started and they will reward you with lots of flowers of different colours, which attract the bees and make the rest of the garden grow :).
