8 Keeling brothers

FURTHER GLORY

 
Still bathing in the glory of last Sunday's cricket match we get more good news. Trevor the younger has passed his driving test. "What, did it take that long?", I hear you say. Er yes. First person to email George with the deliberate mistake in the photo gets a pint or the equivalent.

Its not only the British that talk about the weather, the Germans do it relentlessly too, and why not it has been -16°C here (and the day after it was +1°C).

During my lunch hour I went walking on a lake and underneath the bridge I found this fish. To fill you in on a few facts:
*The water was shallow here and the ice was frozen completley clear to the bottom
*Apparently underneath the bridge is the last place where the ice forms
*The ice in the rest of the lake is white because of the bubble of gas escaping from it when it is frozen
*There were quite a few fish frozen like this but not an obscene amount, there must, I think, be fish elsewhere in the lake where it is deeper that did not share this sorry fate.

I have a few ideas about how the fish died but I welcome any other theories, perhaps we could test them at Jacobs, in the pool, with the freezers from the back rooms.

TREV'S MOVED TO BERLIN

Trevor (the younger, taller and better looking) moved to Berlin at the beginning of September. He has been staying with me this month and moved into a flat of his own yesterday. He has had an internal transfer in his building firm. The plan is to stay here for six to twelve months. Hmm, that was my plan too. He seems to be getting on pretty well.

Best wishes, George
