Giving away your children

I just gave away 5 of my baby paradise fish to a stranger :-( So very silly to be sentimental over fish, but these are the first ones I've raised and they are such sweet fish - loaded with personality. Still, I have no room to keep them and at least this way I get to meet the new owners instead of just giving them to the pet shop. So now I've got 5 of my little ones left to find homes for. I'll miss playing with them - they are so curious and inquisitive and damn cute! I'm sure I'll be happy about it soon enough though, as there are more fry in the adults tank to raise up. No more for a while though, since my silly female fish accidentally drowned herself last week :-( So here's to my many fishy children off into the big wide world.

Today I fancy butterflies...

Interesting Tonification...

When I most feel like baking sweet deliciousness corresponds strongly with when I least feel like eating said sweet deliciosness. That, and there's always room for cheese!


I've discovered people who actually like Rum & Raisin chocolate! *fattens up collegues*

Fight of the century!

Things were getting a little violent this evening on my threshold...



I love geckos! Our building is pretty much crawling with them, inside and out. Big ones, belly-bloated that fight for space and greedily snatch moths on my fly-screen and teeny-tiny ones that scuttle and hide up in corners. Sticky-fingered cuteness!
