This is Sith – flash and sizzle

 

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a Siamese Fighter.  I had quite a few, one after the other – Kostya, Ali, Lionel and Clay – and they were amazing. But when Clay died I didn’t have it in me to get another.

Well now, in my new home, I dragged out my old tank and went looking for a new fish.  Caboolture Markets hosted the Betta Australis International Betta Show a few weeks back and I put my name down for 4 of the non-placers (assuming I’d be able to afford one of them).  Then, by-the-by my brother says he can make me a new tank – with compartments for a couple of fish.  DILEMMA!!!  Now I had to wait to see whether my ones were still available and if I got the call to give me their prices. As it turned out, I got the chance to buy up to 3 of the ones I’d liked, but could only afford 2, so I grabbed my favourites and have a third section in my new tank to use for water changes or maybe even a boudoir for a little lady.  *wink wink*

“Artie” is named after the late, great Artie Beetson.  He’s both NSW blue (where Beetson had to play to make a buck) but the Queensland Maroon surrounds him and shows through.  “Sith” has his name because he’s black and vibrant red and the first of the two to fire up.

If you’ve never kept fish, they can seem quite sedate, but they honestly have their own personality and attitude that you see in them.  It’s been a couple of days now and they are both settling in, starting to respond to feeding time and are not scared away from my hand at the top of the tank.

I think me and my boys will be just fine.

greeting, pets, unconditional love

This photo makes me smile every time I look at it. He doesn’t care he just ate chook poo or rolled in a cow pat…but I did :). He just wanted me to stay outside and play with him…and I did that too. 🙂

Sometimes you jump and the net doesn’t appear. So sad.

waiting

I’m baby sitting for the Oldies – so, meet the baby.   He’s waiting for Dad to come home. 

Not long, mate – not long.

Big sky today out west and lovely in the sunshine. #Queensland #winter #scenicrim #carneyscreek
Finally in the newsagents. #tdf #sbstdf #couchpeloton #bringiton
Thank you Haven. Haven. Coffee for Haven. Haven? Haven?
If you know, you know ❤️ #tpwk #harry
Late night staples when it’s winter in Brisbane. Tea and biccies. Crochet and cricket. #hugge #comfort #crochet #blanket #tea #biccies #lords #nzlvseng
Bedlam before. Bookcase after.
New moon in Taurus.
Back to work tomorrow after a much too short break. Prep to make things a little more pleasant. Anzac slice and banana bread. #podlife
I had a great night graduating Gin School. Brisbane Distillery at West End has a cool vibe and the class room is terrific. I made an ink gin with botanicals of agave, elderberry, green cardamom, orange blossom and wild rosella. Yum. #ginschool #gin #brisbane
I’d like to thank Australia Post for unknowingly supporting my effort to be an adult. To keep is in the wallets. To shred is in the postbox. #idontknowwhereigotitfromiswear #declutter #paperless #mortgageprep
Decluttering all the things and found a print out of this amongst my “things to journal about” prompt box. This birthday week I’m taking some time to break from the stress and grind of adulting. Nature is a great healer. Thanks for the reminder @chrisevans. Water the plants. Talk to the trees. Watch the birds. Support the bees. 💚❤️🐝🌻
Let’s go Australia. #ausvotes
Pretty sky. #scenicrim #queensland #nofilter
It’s been a week, hasn’t it? I’m taking the evening to rest. No chores. Nothing for me to have to/ should do - it can all wait til the morning. #rest #timeout #reset
So that’s a lot for one day. #bnestorm #subtropics #rain
There’s a storm water drain under there somewhere. Might not need to pay for a pool now. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Best find in a desk drawer EVER. #podlife #smallthings
Feels like 10 degrees cooler. #bnestorm #subtropics #brisbane
Low hanging moon. #brisbane
Found an old art box shelf insert and repurposed for my tarot and oracles decks. It feels so much better!! No more messy individual bags. #tarot #oracle #tarotdecks
