Our colony is doing well, with the little creatures being swimming in vertical circles, even darting this way and that. And all we have to do is feed them a tiny spoonful of sachet 3 once every two days.
So, that having been taken care of, I’ve been taking a bit of time to exercise, going for 4km runs once every couple of days. And when I’m not able to manage a trot – the joints being a bit dodgy and all, I’ve walked. And I keep wondering why I forget how nice it is to take a walk in spite of the heat and humidity.
And then I remember what I’ve told myself many many times before. You can either complain about the weather or you can marvel at how a drop of rain feels on the back of your hand. Or in this case, how perspiration beads on your skin the moment you leave your apartment.
Then there are the cats of Chip Bee Gardens. They assemble on the pavements outside their homes and stare across the street at each other, meowing their greetings, and waiting for the right moment to caterwaul and congregate, because the time is right. Or something. You never know with these cats. But cute, lah. Or when it’s just rained, and the ground is damp, and the smell of rain and rotting leaves rise from the asphalt, mingle with that of doggie and cat poo and assault your nose, making you run / trot a little bit quicker.
Then you get to the shops, buy what you’re supposed to buy, lug the plastic bags back to where you came from, turn on the air-con as high as she’ll go, take off your shirt in the kitchen and start making dinner, cursing that you’ve forgotten the garlic, even though you wrote it down in your list.
ah nature, and ah aircon – although personally, I prefer fans.
I really need to get out more – thanks for reminding me!

you can get fully grown sea monkeys from any aquarium.

sea monkeys are actually brine shrimps.. sold in aquariums as fish food. Once my brother decided to be smart aleky and bought a bag of them for me. After placing it in the tank, of course my small ones disappeared (either cannibalised or got hidden by the fully grown ones).
Triops are sort of like sea monkeys but resemble horse shoe crabs.
no frills at all, buy a bag of eggs, and use any small plastic tank.

Triops are cool but they don’t live as long as Sea Monkeys and I don’t know of anyone who has gotten them to reproduce in their little tanks.
I worked in the tropical fish business for years, managing a store and doing set up and maintainence of tanks. The brine shrimp you buy at these stores doesn’t seem to live as long as Sea Monkeys.
Actually, that might be a good experiment. I’ll set up a tank of each, the aquarium ones meant as snacks, and the Sea Monkey brand (which are supposedly a high brid). Thanks for the inspiration.

you know you can get brine shrimp eggs and a hatchery from almost any tropical fish store for REALLY cheap and they grow bigger than the sea horses! Plus, you get like 10,000 eggs from the fish shop vs the few you get from seamonkeys
