Aftermath

Today I was hoping that Levi would sleep in after the festivities of yesterday.  Of course not!  What were you thinking?  He got up at his usual time but we had one of those more fragile days.  He had a new friend from his class over for the day and that was lucky and unlucky.  Lucky, because it gave Levi a distraction.  Unlucky because it was a bit much after yesterday.  Plus the kid's family didn't pick him up until way late (I had started dinner) and it meant that by that stage homework and chill out time was not going to happen.  Levi and his friend had lunch up in the cubby and as I went up the ladder realised that a large chunk of the railing is rotting.  So much for treated wood!  I have no idea what caused the wood in that area (and just that area) to rot.  The wood either side and with the same amount of rain is just fine.  Who knows but I have a bit of work to do fairly soon!

Today I cleaned up the backyard.  I found two eggs that hadn't been found.  Levi has decided that eating them whole is the way to go and he managed to knock off most of his egg stash today, esp as he very sweetly shared them all with his mate from school.  Other than the last bits of clean up there wasn't much to do.  We had to clean out the fish tank.  Poor Dibber now flinches anytime anyone comes near the tank after a sweet and well meaning two year old fed him a year's supply of food yesterday.  Actually that's an exaggeration, he only flinches if you go anywhere near the food container! 

Dibber is happily swimming around in his new tank water and continues to live despite all efforts to the contrary.  When you talk to the people at the pet store, there are all these things you have to do for your fish so it doesn't die.  I think that we have done none of them and yet Dibber continues to swim happily and grow exponentially.  We feed him a tank full of food so you can't see through the water and Dibber ignores it and swims happily (and apparently) healthily around.  I tell you, this is the strongest fish on earth.  Even the snails; Ultralord and Ultralord 2 are happy!  Maybe we should feed them once a year at large volume.  They are thriving on it!
