Hello Again

Hello,
I've been lurking for a while, so I thought I'd log in and say hello. Not much else to say except my postscript is probably well out of date as I had some trouble with the cpds and lost them all (several jumped out of the tank!) and sadly only one of the Pygmy cories is still with us. Ember tetra and wcmm still going strong.
I used to come on here fairly frequently when I lived in Cardiff (loved Cardiff, really miss it) but have now moved back home to the north west, so parameters somewhat different. Thinking my fish need some tank mates!

Hi Puffin. 

I am originally from Cardiff and still return to visit family and friends on a regular basis.

Sorry to hear that you have lost some of your fish, but also looking forward to hearing updates on your tanks, and any new tankmates. 

Hi Puffin,

I'm the other way round, I am from the north west but lived in Cardiff for 6 years during the 1970s, then returned to the north west before moving to the north east. I too liked Cardiff, but that may be because it is where I met and married my husband 

@Littlefish - and I lived in Cambridge for 2 years between Cardiff and the north west 

I thoroughly enjoyed Cambridge.

I was born and brought up in Lancashire. At 18 I went to University College, Cardiff  (not Cardiff University! UWIST and NWSMD were separate institutions back then), got my chemistry degree, stayed on to do postgrad research, left that after 2 years then worked for a year in the biochemistry dept, got married and two weeks later moved to Cambridge where my husband did a post doc for 2 years and I worked at Addenbrookes. Then he got a job with ICI and we moved to the north west, half an hour from my parents.

I've been afraid to go back to Cambridge. It was like a 2 year honeymoon and I'm scared seeing it all changed will spoil the memories. We lived right in the city centre in a Sidney Sussex flat so those two years were not like the real world at all
