    I was going to ask, but Jennifer seems to have answered already. Pretty blue. Your previous camera post inspired one for me that will appear at some point.

    Jennifer; I've no idea how long these fighters generally live. I know he was happy though, because he would swim around and when I noticed him he would fan out all his fins, like he was saying hello.

    Andrew; now I'm curious.

    I thought they lived for 2 or 3 years, so it sounds like Chippy had a long life. And it sounds as though he was happy. Though it still hurts when they go :(

    *hugs* It sounds like he had a lovely life.
    I'm not allowed Betta's anymore, because I cry too much when they pass on. At least my cats I get 15-17 years before I have to face that again.

Sunday Selections #757

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Beginning today with a few photos of my TV screen, on the news: In the far north, the APY Lands (I think, it was a while ago) the indigenous people held their own Grand Final football match: in the heat and the red dust much fun was had spectators as well as players it was lovely to see, quite a change from the city matches with over-crowded stands and all the cheering and booing that goes on. on another TV show: she really killed...

Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
