A Quick Look At The Aquarium,

the light now in place,


 it is quiet pleasant looking at the inhabitants as I type the blog,

 a late Sunday lunch,

 mussels and garlic bread for starters,

 followed by roast pork,

 Diana's with gravy,

 we rounded off the meal with strawberries, meringue and fresh cream, delicious!

I told Diana about the cleaner shrimp, cleaning my fingers,

 so Diana had to have a try,

 after a few minutes the shrimp had enough, and returned to the rocks, 

 and there he is,

 for a change the boxing shrimp, (Stenopus hispidus), decided to make an appearance at the front of the aquarium, 

 front glass cleaned of algae,

 which grows alarmingly quickly,  

 and it almost seems that there is no water, the Eheim filter and UV sterilizer doing a great job,

by now the moon was out, 

whilst eating Diana had mentioned she would like to watch 1984, so a quick look through DVDs and there it was, a chilling look at the world of 'Big Brother' looking at you in every part of your life, I am not sure how well received or viewed the 1984 release of 1984 has been, but if you have not watched it you are missing, in my opinion, one of the great films portraying how the future was seen by George Orwell, (pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair), warts and all, when he wrote the book and published it in 1949, in fact in some countries and in some aspects of the book he is alarmingly accurate, there are a few places in the world that 'Big Brother' really is watching you today, and with that chilling thought, we were off to bed.
