This meant filling the coin slot and also using silicone to fix a leak at one of the corners.

We had paid a visit to the fish shop on the way back from school to by 2 different sort of gravel.

This morning he was busy arranging the 2 tone gravel, and adding plant decoration and of course a few of our guppies.

I’m not sure what the project was and today Tai, May 2 and bong all went off to The Royal Flora for the day, with the school. Gu’s class had gone on their trip last week and today was a test day.

Unfortunately we had not got a spare camera available today so no photos of the royal flora I’m afraid.

On picking the kids up I inquired after the fish and Tai told me that his teacher had not “marked” the homework yet. Concerned for the fishes welfare over the weekend, I insisted that he brought them home and took them back Monday if needed.

The childrens choice was Huay Tung Taow.

 This time we took two of the bicycles with us to extend the range of the days activities.
As usual the kids had lots of fun playing in the water.

Water snail collecting seemed to be the popular past-time for the day.
In between times the bicycles were put to good use as was the nearby play area with swings, climbing frame, etc.
With so much to do the children were very undemanding giving myself and Boon time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere too.
