meaningless insights

Mood: serene
Listening to: computer whirring

 

I love this picture of Ophellia. I realise that it is a very romantic version of her life... but it is beautiful is some ways...

Mood: relaxed (weird but true)
Listening to: sounds of silence (no, not the song... the real 'silence' !! lol

ok, so my son got this fish tank for christmas. Sure, it has been 6 months but I never really got around to buying some fish. But hey, we did have the thing filled with water, plants and filter running AOK for the past months.

Anyway, someone managed to pull out the electric cord that made the filter run... hmmmm ... I imagine that it happened a few months back. So, of course, I noticed this problem, but never managed to plug the thingo back in.

I watched that tank turn green.

A few days ago, I thought I was emotionally prepared enough to deal with this slimey situation.

I gathered my strength. And I cleaned the mouldy thing clean.

We went to get a fish.. easy. My son chose a nice little black moor, (sorry-really rascist name-especially if you are familiar with Othello) but that is what they are called in the fish shop. But, whatever the name, they are the most delightfully sweet, buldgy eyed things.

I said to my son.. "So what are you going to name this little fellow?"

As I understood it, he replied, "Two"

"Naming a fish after a number is pretty strange!!", I said.

He replied, "No Mummy, not the number... the 'sight word from Kindy"

So we now have a fish that is called 'to' after the famous sight word from kindergaten.

Well, I thought... 'so mote it be'

And I have to admit, he is a beautiful 'To'!!!
