OUR POND and us swimming in it
The Pump Fails
We always thought the pump was reliable. It has refreshed the water for us by circulating it through the terracotta dragon for countless years of our group memory.
Then during The Storm we heard loud bangs from far away and the pump stopped.
In the morning the cat, Sasha told the human our pump was not working, but she took no notice. We could see him putting his paws up to her and fastening his eyes on her, but all she could hear was meowing. She pushed him off.
She was busy getting the quince tree branches sawn off when she noticed she could not hear water falling.
‘The Pump is dead,’ she cried out.
‘My fish may die!’
That was bad news. Fortunately the man sawing the quince tree managed to revive The Pump. He cleaned out the silt and it came to life. Then he replaced the tube running through The Dragon and torrents of water rushed through, much more than before .
Here we are at twilight in our invigorated water.
Midwinter sunlight
After days of rain and cold, weeks of rainy and cold weather, we are enjoying a brief burst of sunshine. The cat went for a walk. He is very spoilt. He looks at us through our water ceiling and if he were not afraid, he might jump in to keep us company. As it is he backs off. Continue reading “Midwinter sunlight”
bereavement
one of Sasha’s furry internet friends passed on yesterday. WE don’t know what to think about life and death, but we are sorry for his devoted humans.

We will try to leave a message in case we can as fish. We are finding we do not have a proper fish identity when we post, which means it is difficult to attract any followers. We haven’t found any other blogs by Shubunkins or Comets, or any other fish.
A burst of hot weather
They call it an Indian Summer, but we don’t think we have gone to India. The food keeps falling and the cat jumps in a lively fashion around The Pond. We feel more lively when the weather is warm.
When the human looks at us she seems anxious and we don’t know why. Is there a cloud looming above the sky roof?
Princess Aurora says that when she puts up her mouth into the air she can sense a change of scent. Fruit from the quince tree has ripened and is being gathered.
We swim
we swim we float we wave our fins
cat guardian?
We see him stare at us as we eat our foods. He just stares. We think his eyes are pond water green. Looking through the true world of water into the false world of air he wavers before our eyes. Princess Aurora rises to the surface to check for any danger. The dragon is motionless. The water flows over our fins. The cat steps back as the human calls.
we dive
the pond ripples slowly outward from the fountain spout
blog hop
Are we the first shubunkin bloggers? We hope to meet up with friends with scales and furs.
Good morning sunshine
When we darted up this morning to receive our foods, we could see it was going to be a fine day. We prefer not to have too much hot weather. The sunshine is falling on the pond.
WE are thinking of larger ponds. The human told us about a pond in the city in a park called Himeji Gardens, that is open to the air and has ducks and turtles living in it and many beautiful plants, so we thought we would feature it today. Continue reading “Good morning sunshine”
The Cat Sasha went out
We saw him on the edge of the pond and then we know he went out the gate. We know he is not allowed out. He thinks he looks after the human, but she knows he could get run over if he went onto the road, so she is very concerned.
We don’t think he has many brains and he is very young. Fortunately the human saw him at the bedroom window, she told us and she called him in before he could get into trouble.
