The water is on, less pressure every year though :( and the washrooms are open for business. <br />
<br />
The goldfish are getting more active, and appear to be healthy.<br />

Just a few of the goldfish are shown in this image, nice to see that the fish are utilizing the entire pond. Time for a small cleanup soon, and remove some of the dead leaved in the deep end of the pond.<br />

Anemone sp., flowering away, these were rescued from the back road after someone dumped them. They are thriving and safe at Finnies.<br />
Plant and garden features thievery is still an ongoing problem at Finnies, never ends, and never will.<br />
<br />
Please remember that Finnies Garden is entirely run and maintained by volunteers, with NO help from the Government at all, and the garbage cans are there for the patients only.<br />
<br />

At the same time we shut down the bathroom, since it appears that no government staff will be around to lock the place up and shut off the water before the big freeze happens, as in past years. Makes me wonder what is going on inside and outside the buildings, to protect the water supplies.???? We shut the water off, which now means that the goldfish pond is now on its own, dependant on rain water to keep the levels up, the pond still leaks, probably always will, even though we put a lot of work into it many years ago. Still the pond has been working much better than in the past.<br />
