Aquarium Life

I got the feed the Rainforrest, Coral Reef and Rays today. It was really cool ... the archer fish was jumping well and I ever got spat on the cheek. I also got to visit Cheeky. Nothing more than usual happened though.

I've started doing my shark talks now ... Monday's went well and I even got thanked afterwards ... today was a bit more nerve wracking ... my microphone died 3 minutes into my talk so I had to basically shout the rest of my talk. It was ok though people were keeping quiet and just listening so it went well. I had a guy come up to me afterwards and ask me if sharks sleep ... I told him that they do but only with half of their brains the other half they use to keep swimming and breathing. So he asked me how old Georgina was (she is our biggest sandtiger shark) ... I told him about 12 or 13 ... so he looks at me, shakes his head and says "do you want to tell me that George has been swimming around in circles for the last 12 years." Well if you think of it like that ... it's quite depressing.

I also had a little girl ask me some questions at the Atlantic tank, then she turned to me and said ... I had two goldfish for four years ... I told her that was great ... and she said that they had gotten too big for their tank ... so her dad instead of just throwing one goldfish in the canal tossed both of them into the canal ... he poor child she must have been mortified.

Thats all the news I have for today. Tomorrow is Elizabeth's bithday ... so Lizzy if you are reading this .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Hopefully more news later.
