Ramble

[serenissima]

I've been going for a 20-minute walk every lunch break this week, in view of the unseasonably mild weather we're having and my increasing flab. Today, though, I have only a few minutes left in my lunch hour, and I'll spend some time outside tomorrow, so I think I'll post instead of walking.

I had another aquarium crisis -- seems like if it's not one thing, it's another. The power filter died on Sunday: I changed the water and everything was fine, I went out shopping, and when I got back the filter had stopped. Didn't even make any "I'm trying" noise. I assume something went wrong with the motor. So Monday evening after work I dashed out to buy a replacement, instead of distributing Halloween candy. I'm a bit concerned for my fish, because the beneficial bacteria have not had time to grow on the new filter and until they do, waste will accumulate. But it's just five little tetras in a 20 gallon tank, so hopefully conditions will remain tolerable.

I had an odd dream the other morning. One scene involved the three sisters -- and I mean The Three Sisters, fates or Norns or whatever -- as little girls, gossiping around their kitchen table. Another scene had some young men or teenagers going to check out the cave they had used as their secret clubhouse when they were boys, only to find the whole area had been developed as a subdivision of houses. But they broke into the basement of the particular house built on top of their hideout and found a way through to the cave which was still there underneath.
