it's all a little fishy...

Yesterday Pod and I took a trip to Birmingham to the National Sealife centre. It was VERY cool. My favourite bit was the baby seahorses and the HUGE sea turtles. They even had a Nemo section where they had all the real life versions of the fish in the film. In another tank they had these rays that when they swam looked like they were flying through the sea. This trip promoted two reactions.

1)awe and wonder for the Creator. So much variety and not only so many different types of fish but each fish had it's own personality-way of living, breeding, feeding etc.

2)A distinct craving for fish....I couldn't work out whether this was a good thing or a slightly sadist expression...HOWEVER,

We left the sealife centre and went to an art gallery where we had some food. A fish salad (squid, prawns, mussles, oysters in a sauce)

Later that night we went out for dinner to a French Restaurant where we shared Mussels in a garlic butter sauce for starter and both had fried sea bass for main.

We were going to follow this with ice cream at home...Ben n Jerry's pfish food..but we were too stuffed. And maybe just a little fishied out...

sounds simply delightful (what what) - yes, a bit sadistic I'd say. Never ever buy a goldfish.

What? You came to Brum and you didn't visit me? Well, that's a topsy-turvy world: you visit the fish & I get gutted (geddit?!).

Well Pod and Becci came to Derby and they didn't come visit us either!! We had to go see them!

We went to Sealife a while ago and thought it was really cool as well.

just SO in demand...see that's the problem. if you want us you'll just have to phone our PAs and put it in the diary...though you're looking at a good 2 years time...!!

blah. anyway, Robin, was cool to meet you and family. I'm so glad you didn't kill Pod with the guitar all those years ago. ;)

I can't believe that's all Pod remembers me for! So embarrasing...
