Two casualities !!!

To complete the garden pond, Eddie provided 9 fishes (koi) for the water feature. Whilst they shy away in the presence on onlookers, they quietly creeps out when no one is looking. Had my first glimpse of them on my return from Bangkok. Nice !!!

At dawn, had a good look at them. Unfortunately, could only account for 6. After several re-counts, found one sunbathing on the newly planted carpet grass. Already terminal !!! No pulse !!!. CRP will not help. Looked under the plants and found a 2nd; also motionless. (Like a scene from CSI ....). Searched for the 3rd but nowhere to be found. Unlikely for the new-comer to stray away for a holiday !!! The sad news was finally extended to Eddie .... 2 down, 1 missing !!! The neighbourhood cat is now the prime suspect !!!
