Patty the Fish 2001-2007

Patty died during the night. Wee Jess is having a hard time (unlike her gore-fan brother, the Pook – with a big smile – “does that mean she’s a skeleton?”) we’ve been reminiscing, telling old fish stories. There’ll be a brief ceremony later, friends & family, followed by a fondue, hopefully on the balcony, in the sun. We’re lucky not to have woken up to dead Patty the Fish yesterday morning, Groundhog Day. That would have been hellish.
