It was tragic to see the forlorn look on the beleaguered Japanese skating rink owner who watched his dreams for the future going down the drain. He must have been wondering how he could have thought it a good idea to freeze hundreds of dead fish in the ice that his customers were skating on.
He wailed that he wanted to offer an unusual experience for his patrons and the feeling of travelling along with the inhabitants of the oceans. So he purchased lots of different varieties from the local fish markets. He admitted that many were past their use-by-date so, not only were they dead fish, they were smelly dead fish.
You have to applaud initiative but, unfortunately, this was an initiative whose time has not yet come.
On a personal note, Marilyn came home from hospital yesterday, but has gone back into day surgery this morning to get a small plate implanted in her little finger. We have hired a wheelchair for her because she is pretty immobile. It's a bugger when things start to go wrong.
