Just because I don’t remember putting pictures of it up before..
On damselflies in December
She must have hitched a ride with the pondweed… The aquarium water must feel like summer, too bad my flat isn’t sunny and warm really! 😉
On discovering a baby
Look!
Ok, you might need some help if you don’t know what you’re looking for..
Isn’t it awesome?! 4 of the 7 miniature schrimp I bought a month ago were ‘pregnant’. At some point I noticed that they were no longer carrying their eggs, but there was no sign of the babies anywhere.
Until now.
I was beginning to wonder if they’d hatched at all.
Now I’m looking forward to watching the babies grow up 🙂 I say babies, so far I’ve only seen one, but I figure if one’s survived, the chances of a few of the other 400 or so surviving are pretty high. Higher than the chance of me seeing them in 350 litres of well-planted aquarium. Especially when they don’t start off particularly colourfully.
On not talking about Christmas
It’s the 25th of November.
That makes it exactly a month until Christmas.
I am ignoring that, and all other Christmas related things.
Between now and then, I have:
4 exams to revise for
a book to finish compiling and find pictures for and format and send off in time for printing
3 aquariums to look after, including water changes, getting rid of the duckweed and reinstalling a pump/filter
a 10 day holiday which DB wants to cancel because I’m planning on revising through it and he thinks staying here and working is more efficient…
I think I might not acknowledge that Christmas is even a thing until the 23rd when I will already be on the way home, and passed caring too much.
