There is just something about Saturdays that seam to make people (especially Jad and I) spend money. I woke up on a Saturday morning about 3 weeks ago and promptly went out and bought a new computer. This morning we woke up, drove out to an aquarium store and contemplated buying a couple of 6″ tanks to keep some chiclids in. Jad used to have Jack Dempseys, Oscars and a Red Devil. He loves the Central American Chiclids and I grew to love them too. Never knew fish could be pets until I met “Ded Revil”. He had(s) so much personality. We found a store in Malaga that has all those and more. They even had an African chiclid, called a Frontosa, that i wouldn’t mind having, although it sounds very much less aggressive than the Americans. We were so tempted to buy a tank and some fish. But the $2000 (or more) price tag was just a bit more than we could afford, especially since I still haven’t gotten that suspension that my 180 needs (since we bought the new computer instead of the suspension). Ah well, maybe we should start putting some money aside, and maybe buy a tank sometime next year…early.
So we put a hold on the fish tank purchase, and went hunting for a new PC game to buy instead. This time fate was with our wallets and we couldn’t find one we liked (which was kind of expected anyway). Then Jad decided that he wanted to buy a fern or something for our study because it felt kind of sterile. So off we went to Bunnings (thats a hardware superstore-type thingy). $80 later we walked out with a cute little fern and a terracotta pot to put it in, and a whole bunch of weed killers and soil conditioners for me to do some gardening with.
So we spent a little, but not nearly as much as we could have. Now i just have to get off my arse and do some of that gardening. The plum and lemon trees in our backyard are flowering, so it’s probably a pretty good time to clear the weeds away from around them and give them a good dose of fertiliser.
