Bubbles the dragon scale crown tail male betta
Alexandra saved up her money and today she bought a betta fish. She called him bubbles.
Roos has still to wait a little bit because she spent her money on other things but her birthday is coming up in three weeks 🙂
RIP Burton
Today when we came home we found Burton our pet rat dead. RIP Burton hope you are playing with your brother Coco. Snowball is not doing great either and i think he will not make it another week 🙁 Always sad to loose a pet. Small or big. Burton was 2 years and 1 month old. Coco was 18 months.
On the bright side it was a good soccer day for Alexandra, she scored 3 goals and team Eagles won the game with 4-0.
Uitgemoved…
Both Mascha and I moved to our new place last week. The movers were not the movers we had used previously when we relocated for my work. They had underestimated the amount of work and it took much longer than planned. They got really desperate at the end and started to rush. Today I found my Playstation in the same box with wood for the fireplace. Somehow also I ended up with the remote and power cord for the TV that is at Mascha’s house. Both of us are already swapping items back and forth. So far 3 repacked boxes have already made it back to Mascha’s place.
The work at my house also continues. My house only closed escrow the day before the move so I had no time to paint, plan or prepare. Slowly things come together however.
Tomorrow Alex and I will make the first trip from my house to school. She loves bacon so tomorrow we’ll first have eggs and bacon.
