Wow, you might be the first person outside my family who I ever met who knows this movie.
love that movie
KGB? FBI?
to be fair, I didnāt know it existed until about 2 weeks ago. It was recommended on Netflix, probably because itās a quirky, indie comedy. I watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople a few weeks ago which is probably why it the algo thinks Iād like it. I did. Iām not much for geeking out over blockbusters. Give me a good Coherence any day.

Took the wife & little one to Hampton Court Palace on Saturday.
We met with some friends of my wife that were visiting from Brazil and had their children with them as well.
Hit up Franco Manca pizza after the (very long) day out.

This was always a favourite outing for our little ones when we lived in England in the early ā90s. I remember on one outing seeing Conrad Black strutting about in period costume living out his fantasy. In recent years I took my oldest granddaughter to HCP for her 10th birthday. Always a fun outing.

Cleaning the backyard pond. When I read, itās best done as a spring job, but they requires having time to do it and people to help.
No, instead Iām choosing the day where itās 85 and sunny and reasonably humid for here and a chance for storms as the afternoon goes on. However, it should look better because it will not look like this and I should get a count of how many fish I have to decide if I want to thin out the population any.

54 fish. Iād say itās 53 goldfish and a koi, but thatās because I can only definitely say one is a koi. There might be a few others that are koi, but theyāre small. Iām really glad I took out three dozen goldfish last fall.
Pictures later once itās dark, depending on what the weather does.

Sorry, now 52 fish and a koi.
We had to unclog the filter on the fountain - this will probably be a thing for a while as it slurps up the rest of the sediment - so I turned it off to make sure the motor didnāt burn out. 15-20 minutes later Mrs. H gets home from concealed carry class, I have a cut on my foot so I shouldnāt go into the pond. She throws shorts on to get in.
We go outside, fish are swimming around, we get near the pond and they swim away instinctively and ISTFG it was like a fish had a heart attack seeing us and died on the spot, just floated up and to the top. No, it was not there earlier in the morning, when I unplugged the pump, or even before we went out. It was the weirdest thing.
However, the pump is cleaned and we have a clean(er) pond now.
