today’s the day for both Rust boys to receive their COVID-19 vaccination at school. Fingers crossed they go well and any side affects are minimised 🤞

Finally….

It has only taken two months or so, but finally we have managed to get the large tank to cycle itself properly and the ammonia and nitrite levels are managing themselves.
So, this morning, Toshiko has finally been moved in to his proper home, rather than the temporary tanks that he has been surviving (and GROWING) in these last 6 or so weeks.
This will be slightly less stressful hopefully as it will take WAY longer for the levels to get out of control and this will require MUCH less water changes than we have so far experienced.
Happy Birthday Elliot
15 today 💥🎂
Rugby first thing followed by a home garden BBQ party.
We hope you have a terrific day buddy
Fixed orthodontics
So the day has come and it seems that Elliot has managed to keep his teeth cleaning in good shape – the orthodontist has given the green light for fixed braces to be applied to BOTH upper and lower jaw AND she has fitted the rascals….
Fun commences now in the Rust household – all the toffees and Pepsi max are going away for 18 months <SHOCK> as Elliot’s teeth are slowly pulled into a better placement…..
Wish us all good luck 🙂
Soup is nice…..
Firework Champions at Newby Hall
On Saturday afternoon, we drove up to Newby Hall to attend the 2021 Firework Champions.
We attended the same event two years ago with Rob, April and Isabel and had a fantastic time, so when we realised that the event was on once again this last weekend and that we had already booked and paid for tickets, we were absolutely delighted.
We pitched up the gazebo and enjoyed some wonderful food with great company…

There were ultimately thousands of visitors so having selected a gazebo pitch was a super smart move, to ensure that we could enjoy the show with plenty of space for us all. The following picture was taken v early on, before most people had settled in…

This year, we were to enjoy some aerial fireworks that were delivered from two planes that were also performing some incredible acrobatics to boot, before the main event as the skies darkened sufficiently.

Finally, we settled in to enjoy the three companies that were competing and we hope that we will be able to secure tickets for next years event…
