Warning: Small death in the family!

[sildil]

Yesterday was a sad day in the Sildil Household. Eldest went to clean out the fish tank and found 'Clint' (don't ask!) his elderly goldfish had died....and I cried! Over a Goldfish!(well actually, silver, he had gone 'grey' with old age).

He was 16 years old though, which is pretty good innings for a Goldfish I guess. We buried him in the garden under the peony.

..and now to cheer you all up a bit, I found an old sketch book and here are some pretty piccies...

there's nothing wrong with crying over a goldfish.. i cried when i found Jeremy dead at the bottom of his tank..

alas poor Jeremy.. the things we'd gone through together..

and alas poor Clint..

no doubt swimming together in Fishy Heaven.. along with Jeremys special friend Harold...

Yes, and no doubt Clint is now reunited with Eastwood, and busy chasing him around the heavenly fishy tank as he did in real life!
