Saddened

Thursday 18th July 2013 -- Arrived home just after 7 am and was saddened to find that my much loved fish Darkie was floating dead in his tank. I called him Darkie because he was a breed of Blackmoor, jet black in colour. After i had him about 6 months, he became ill and rather strangely his colour changed completely to gold. I have now had him about 3 years, and unlike my other fish, he would literally come and eat his food from my fingers. I wrapped him and gave him a dignified burial in my garden. I shall miss him. In the afternoon i went to see my doctor, who prescribed some steroids for my foot. I am not keen on them , but will have to give them a try. If they don't work, i shall have to go for some blood tests. FOXXY contacts me in the evening and challenges me to carry on with my claim that Her tasks are boring. I am feeling subdued this evening and in no mood for quarreling , so our exchange is affable. I ask for clarity on a point, which is resolved and i head for my night shift.
