Island News

Well work called yesterday I wasn’t home, I was out helping Amanda do some cleaning at her new place. So I called this morning thinking maybe we’d be going back to work early this year, but no such luck they are calling to let us know that they are running out of daytime seats so they are polling everyone to see who would “prefer” working 3:30 - 11:30 , they need 25 of the 60 people to work nights, I did ask when they thought we would be going back and was told “likely Nov. 7th” but they will be calling in the next couple of weeks with the exact dates. So doesn’t look like there will be any “extra” time added on but at least I did get called back. Just hope that it may run a little longer this year. Nov. to end of Feb or mid March is not much time.

I’m going to go with Amanda again today and help her do a little more cleaning, hopefully we’ll have the whole place nice and clean BEFORE they start moving things in.

Karla is enjoying her new job, and is getting used to finally having evenings to herself again.

It was very windy here last night, Wow the wind was really howling out there all night!!

Last night I noticed that the Parrot fish were getting very aggressive toward the little ones in the tank so I went to take a closer look and put my hand in the tank to move one of the items in there, the big fish came right over and nipped at my arm, this is VERY unusual for them. So I got looking a little closer there are Eggs!! they have laid eggs !! that explains the aggressive behaviour so I scooped out the other fish and Algea eater and put them in the fishbowl. Now I’ll have to find something to put them in , there are just to many of them to keep in that little fish bowl for very long!
Most times the eggs will not hatch according to what I have read on line, but if the eggs don’t get fertilized they will eat them. and they seem to be very protective of them at this point. so we may end up with baby fishies
