Wish you were here

This morning Susan went out into the garden and noted that the netting over the fish pond was flattened on the surface. She also noted that a couple of stones and objets d’art that held the netting in place had fallen into the pond. Then she noticed the complete absence of goldfish. Twenty minutes later there were still none to be seen. It appears that last night ALL thirty three of our goldfish had been taken from the pond. We have no idea how or when it was done. They were there yesterday and not there today. Working in my office I was not ‘pondering’ over this incident until two things occurred simultaneously:

1. one of my advertising postcards onto my desk
2. Roger Waters (ex Pink Floyd) sang the immortal lines

we’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,year after year

So now I’m thinking about them. One big one and 32 babies. We never named them, but for each and everyone one all I can think right now is…

wish you were here
